Video: The Future of Restaurants

In the first of a four-part video series, supported by Arla Pro, Hawksmoor co-founder Will Beckett and D&D London CEO Des Gunewardena discuss the restaurant world post lockdown.

What are the biggest concerns for restaurants and the hospitality sector in a post lockdown world?

Can the hospitality sector survive with restrictive social distancing measures?

What long-term impact will the Coronavirus have on the restaurant industry as a whole?

These are just some of the questions put to leading restaurateurs Will Beckett and Des Gunewardena in The Future of Restaurants, the first of a four-part video series supported by Arla Pro, that looks at the impact of the Coronavirus virus on the hospitality sector now and in the future.

In the first instalment, Hawksmoor founder Will Beckett discusses whether his restaurant group would even want to reopen if social distancing measures had to be adhered to and the fundamental changes the industry needs to make post lockdown, and D&D London CEO Des Gunewardena talks of his company’s plans to reopen some of its restaurants when allowed and get its teams back to work.
