2 hour slots in pubs/restaurants

[Castlecould]

Hi everyone

Does anyone know if the 2 hour slot still applies to beer gardens or is it only for inside dining/drinking now?
Thanks

Any beer garden ive been in, it has applied and we've only been allowed the 2 hrs.

Aberdeen here. Most places 2hours but I seen 2 pubs only offering 1 hour!

Stirling- some were walk in for outdoor seating and no time restrictions. More were 2 hour slots for anything. Walk ins were available for 40 min slots in between bookings.

That was last weekend anyway.

I would think that the outdoor time restrictions are more to do with trying to give everyone a chance than covid tbh, but I suppose we are less likely (or maybe more likely!!) to get drunk and start cuddling covid ridden strangers if there is a limit.

The fact that people will just have a pub crawl and potentially spread germs further than if they were sat in a beer garden in one place for 3 hours will be irrelevant...

Thanks all. Could only find information online that related to indoors so wasn’t sure if outdoors was still the same but looks like it is. Thanks!
