The Highdown in Littlehampton Road said it was important that it struck the right balance between loosening up the restrictions, while also being mindful of its customers’ and crews’ continued safety and well-being.
“We will, of course, continue with our high standards of cleaning in all we do,” said a spokesman.

“And we will continue to make sure the pubs are nicely ventilated and some of our crew and customers alike will choose to carry on wearing a face covering, which we respect.”
The spokesman said the relaxation of restrictions ‘had been a long time coming’.
They added: “It’s been a tricky year or so for everyone and we wanted to say thank you for all your continued support and kind wishes.
