It's one year on from people celebrating the end of lockdown restrictions on ‘Super Saturday’.

Following the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020, people visited pubs on July 4 once restrictions were eased.

Pubs on the Thames, including The Head of the River in Oxford, proved popular as people were able to sit at tables outside.

Nick West, the manager at the Holly Bush pub in Osney, said on Super Saturday: "It's a lot quieter than we thought, but we have a few bookings this evening.

" I'm not complaining that it is quiet because it means it is a bit more personal. It just means we can actually say hello to everyone, rather than being rushed off our feet which makes it a lot more friendly.

" That's what we are going for, a community pub feel rather than a city centre boozer.

"A lot of the families have stayed away understandably on the first day, so it is a lot more drinkers than eaters.

" The rain has definitely kept people away today. "

A lot of people came out saying they wanted to support their local pub.

That was the case for Melissa Bacon who stopped for some food at the Magdalen Arms in east Oxford with dog Cosmos.

She said on Super Saturday: "I wasn't going to go to the pub today but then when we passed and saw it was open decided to support our local.

This is Oxfordshire:

"I think there's trust there when it's a pub you know and knowing what they have been through."

Punters enjoyed the outside seating at the Tap Social pub on Abingdon Road despite the drizzly weather.

Pubs had been serving takeaway coffee and pints for a fortnight before reopening.
