A NUMBER of independent cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants in Brighton remain open, but in a new format.

After the Government announcement on Friday, these establishments are officially closed for sit down service and communal gathering, but many of them have decided to take a new approach.

Many have chosen to offer takeaway services as an alternative.

Although, some have chosen to offer delivery services as well.

Others are choosing to convert into shops, where items can be sold to you directly.

Some of the establishments have even decided to make affordable home meals, which they will deliver to the homes of older and more vulnerable residents in the city.

A lot of these places still have stock that would otherwise be wasted if they fully closed.

Are you still open? Let us know and we can add you to a list in this article.
