The government has published the COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021 (Opens in a new window), setting out the roadmap out of the current lockdown for England.

From 12 April, hospitality venues are allowed to serve people outdoors. There is no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks and no curfew, although customers must order, eat and drink while seated. Wider social contact rules will apply in all these settings to prevent indoor mixing between different households.
