Punters have been indulging in street food and pints after an open-air pub experience launched today.

Dreamland Margate has been transformed into the 'Summer Social' - an outdoor boozer showcasing DJ sets and live sports on the big screen.

Punters had to follow strict Covid procedures, including staying at their tables (unless using the toilet facilities), a one-way system and wearing face masks when leaving their tables.

Revellers enjoyed a mix of booze and a street food from vendors, including Seawise, Rad Burger and Ovesu Van.

And to boost the mood, the live DJ set started on the stage after 7pm which had some customers singing.

The Scenic Stage at the iconic theme park in Thanet will be showing every one of England’s European Championship football games live on a huge screen - plus this Saturday's Champions League final between Chelsea and Man City.

Food is served up by the Street Food Warehouse and the team will be serving delicious grub, including fish and chips, pizzas, burgers "with a twist" and vegan choices.

Friends and families can purchase tables in groups of up to six people.

The Summer Social will have well-spaced seating areas and provide a table service where all drinks can be ordered via smartphone - to help keep punters safe.

Organisers of the event have said: "The sun will be shining, the street food sizzling, and the beers and sodas chilling on ice… so make this the one social event of the summer not to miss!"

There will be a capacity of up to 1,000 people and early booking is recommended. To book your table, visit here.
