A PUB in the central belt is still serving alcohol due to a loophole in the coronavirus restrictions.

The Beardmore Pub and Restaurant in Glasgow Airport has been allowed to continue to serve alcoholic drinks and food to customers as normal.

Elsewhere in Glasgow, and across the central belt, pubs were forced to close their doors on October 9 for 16 days to help stop spread Covid-19.

A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “Food and drink for departing passengers air-side at airports is one of a number of exceptions in the regulations for settings where people would otherwise have no or limited access to catering.

"Other examples include work-place canteens where there is no practical alternative to obtain food, and hospital and care-home canteens.

“All restrictions and requirements are being kept under review.”

A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said: “We can confirm that the Beardmore Bar, which is located airside, remains open in line with the current regulations.”
