SCOTTISH pubs are doing all they can to “Save Mother’s Day” and provide the pub experience at home this Sunday, despite restrictions.
Pubs across Scotland will remain closed and unable to serve takeaway beer on Mothering Sunday tomorrow because they remain in lockdown.
The Scottish Beer & Pub Association has today revealed that Scottish pubs will miss out on 1.2 million pint sales and 350,000 sales of meals this Sunday.
This is the equivalent to around £8 million in total sales that the sector will lose out on as it experiences a second Mother’s Day in a row without being able to trade.
However, pubs are now offering takeaway roast dinners and cook-at-home kits to enable Scots to get the Sunday pub roast experience at home for Mother’s Day.
It encouraged people to ask their local if they were offering such a service.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
