Retreat has found themselves with all there restaurants closed, 2 closed under the Greater Manchester restrictions (whilst the one near Chorley opened, but local pubs had bouncers barring anyone from Greater Manchester), opened in full for eat out to help out, then locked down. They have added outdoor dining pods, but are currently offering takeaway only, awaiting to see if they will be in Tier Two, and able to offer their regional delicacies.
