"You can see the relief on peoples faces, just to get out the house." Restaurants 2 weeks after reopening

It's nearly 2 weeks since restaurants reopened after lockdown, we wanted to see how they were getting on with bookings and cancellations. Henry McKean met regular customers and asked will they be eating out this Christmas ? Henry visited Saba, a Thai - Vietnamese restaurant which won a top 'Just Eat' award and Derry Clarke who is closing his Michelin Star Restaurant L'Ecrivain after 31 years in the new year. Henry Mckean spoke to Paul Cadden from SabaToGo.Com and Derry Clarke who is closing L'Ecrivain after 31 years and is planning to open a new restaurant in Templebar in the Spring. Both Saba and L'Ecrivain are open for bookings, try and support your local restaurant any way you can, even if it's just a take away.
