Wetherspoon has confirmed it plans to reopen nearly 400 of its pubs in April. 

The popular chain says it will open beer gardens, roof top gardens and patios at 394 venues in England from Monday, April 12.

The pubs will be open from 9am to 9pm (Sunday to Thursday inclusive) and 9am to 10pm (Friday and Saturday), although some have restrictions on closing times and in those cases will close earlier.

Each pub will offer a slightly reduced menu, to include breakfast, burgers, pizza, deli deals, fish and chips and British classics.

Food will be available from 9am to 8pm seven days a week.
