Will restaurants be open at Christmas in Tier 3?

As such, people have started questioning whether the rules’ jurisdiction looks beyond the home.

Rules on hospitality locations such as bars and pubs vary across tiers, with the lowest necessitating table service only.

The universal rule of six also applies outside, but households cannot mix inside where the tiers are laxer.
