A Harrogate pub, which invited customers for takeaway food and drinks, breached the lockdown rules repeatedly over the weekend.
Harrogate Borough Council sent its enforcement team to two pubs on Saturday and reported that people were breaking the rules.
It gave advice to the licensees of both pubs and reminded them of the law.
The next day the Coach and Horses opened again and followed the initial advice before, the council says it committed a further breach of regulations.
As a result, the officers served the pub with a prohibition notice.

When the officers were on site they were also subjected to verbal abuse from customers.
A spokesperson for Harrogate Borough Council said:
“While pubs are allowed to offer take away food (which may include alcoholic drink), they are not permitted to operate any kind of beer ‘garden’ on their property. This includes putting tables or chairs on, or anywhere adjacent to, their premises for customers to use. We will take all necessary enforcement action if a business breaks the current coronavirus lockdown legislation.”
