The most popular activities replacing visiting bars and restaurants in the United Kingdom during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown in 2020 were having virtual gatherings with friends and family, playing board games, and ordering hot food. Only a small share of people took part in a 'big night in' and/or tried to recreate drinks they would normally only purchase when going out, with eight and four percent respectively.
