A Richmond cocktail bar has announced it its plans for the grand post-lockdown reopening on Monday.

The team at So Bar Richmond have been waiting a long time to get back behind the bar and have made several changes to follow lockdown regulations.

As promised, from Monday 17 pubs, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, B&Bs and children's play areas can open their doors once more as part of the Government's cautious Roadmap out of lockdown.

So Bar has extended its opening hours and the amount of walk-ins it can take - but online bookings are already filling up fast. Visit the website for bookings.

New opening hours:

Monday - Thursday: 5pm - 11.30pm

Friday: 5pm - 1am

Saturday: Midday - 1am

Sunday: Midday - 6pm

(Kitchen hours below)

It will be table service only in the main bar.

A number of seats will be held back for walk-ins but booking is recommended.

The bar also serves Spanish food by Jorge Gimeno, who focuses on tapas and paella.

Jorge Gimeno was born in a small seaside village in Valencia, Spain and grew up in his family's restaurant.

He has worked as a professional chef all over northern Spain, before coming to London in 2012.

So Bar is his first kitchen residency.
