Quick poll - would you go out to eat in a restaurant when they re-open and how old are you?

I work in hospitality. Thanks!

Just to add, like PP, I would be happy to go now if restaurants were open.

yep can't wait to do so. Mid 50's.

Only if I can dine with other households so meet my friends or parents for a meal.

Not with DH, been stuck with him for ages need a break.

My favourite pub/restaurant actually reopens today. I’m thinking about going some time this week. I’m 50.

I can't wait to go out to a restaurant! I will admit I am quite wary though.
I know it probably sounds over the top but I will be taking my own cutlery (I already have a travel set that i keep in the car) I already use my own straw and reusable cups when out and about so I may take these with me too. I know I'll look ridiculous but I don't care!
I've been using antibacterial wipes to wipe the table down in the staff room before I eat on my break too.
I will be picky about which restaurants I go to as I don't want to be crammed in with lots of other people.
Restaurants are a big part of my social life and I miss going a lot,safety definitely comes first though.
I also have friends in the industry and it's such a worrying time for them. I hope things get back to some sort of normality for them soon.

Forgot to say I'm mid 30's

No - 45.

No but rarely ate out in the UK before the virus. Early 60s.

Absolutely, can't wait. I'm 42.

Yes. As long as prices don’t go up. Eating out is a luxury from disposable income, if prices increase it will stop being value for money for our family of 5.

Yes, late 40s

Not sure - we are in fifties. I think I'd be reluctant

Not at first, no. I'm mid 50s. I'd be wanting to wait until things settled down, maybe 3-6 months of "normality", low infection rates, etc., before I'd have the confidence to eat out. Even then, I wouldn't be having anything uncooked - I'd be looking at everything being cooked/fried.

God, yes! I’ve been getting a weekly takeaway, but it’s not the same. I can’t afford to eat out every week but once a month or so.

I’m mid 50s.

Absolutely yes. I'm termed as high risk but if they're deemed safe ill go.

46

Yes, mid-30s. I’d go to one tonight if they were open

I would do anything to eat a meal I had not planned , shopped for, cooked and washed up!
I'm 44 .

Absolutely. Can't wait. I'm 51. Providing suitable precautions are in place to protect staff and customers I want to get back to living my life and to allow the hospitality industry to get back to work.

Absolutely. We have lots of lovely restaurants and cafes near us and I can’t wait to go back. We’re early 40s.

I'm 30, I'll be waiting a month or two after they open to go back in the hope of missing the rush and so that I've had a chance to look at any related infection rises

God yes @Wheretofindabrolly That would be heaven!

Sorry @Don'tforgetyourbrolly !

No and 40
