Can you eat at a restaurant in another tier?

[Davespecifico]

I can’t find an answer to this online. If for example, you live in a tier 3 area, could you eat out in a tier 2 area.
I know travel from tier to tier unless travelling through, is strongly discouraged, but from what I’ve read, not banned entirely. So, is eating out in another tier discouraged or banned?

Well said @LearnedResponse ,if the risk you’re taking is at someone else expense and could potentially endanger someone other than yourself that’s all you’ve got to think about.

But the majority of the public aren’t infectious.

I think you will find most people didn’t know they were supposed to act like they were infectious.

But some are. And that's the whole point

And the whole point of social distancing, masks, staying away from the vulnerable, minimising your contacts etc

When we were in tier 3 I considered going for meals, visiting parents 5 miles away in different tiers and the holiday I had booked at half term .Had to cancel it all. It was really crap and it felt like we were unclean

Half way through half term we got a late notification that my daughter should have been self isolating for the previous week as she was a close contact of someone at school who had tested positive. Luckily she didn't seem to have caught it but if she had then she would have been inadvertently spreading it everywhere. Isn't that the point?

Thanks for the link.
Looks like you can go after all.

I won’t do it but it settles the argument about whether it or not it would break the law if you did (it wouldn’t).

I don’t think anyone ever said it was illegal
