Ann Davie, Depute Chief Executive - Education, People & Business at the council said: “Council officers visited Andiamo on Monday to inform the business owner that they did not have permission on their current liquor licence for outdoor drinking.

“As a complaint has now been received from the proprietor it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”

Beer gardens across Scotland were allowed to reopen on Monday after lockdown.

Andiamo restaurant has posted on its Facebook site today (Wednesday, July 8): 2Our outdoor dining area is fully open from 12 daily for food and drink.
