Perth pub’s lockdown solution
A Perth pub has conjured up the perfect answer for those missing the pub life style while in lockdown.
The Court Hotel has revealed it is bringing the pub home with a series of hampers for pretty much any occasion with the hampers to be picked up from the venue’s bottle shop.
Pub owner, Bree Maddox said that people were missing birthdays at The Court so the idea of deliverable hampers came to fruition.
“One thing this crisis has made us realise is how important the hospitality sector is to the community. The virus hasn’t just hit us from a health and economic perspective, it has taken our cultural and social aspects too,” she said.
The Court will be re-opening from Monday for meals for 20.

Batman has a ‘blast’ during Facetime interview
The actor playing the role of Batman in the new Batman film, Robert Pattinson blew up a microwave during an interview with GQ magazine.
During a three day Facetime interview with reporter Zach Baron, the Twilight star, who has been previously known for making bizarre comments during interviews, managed to explode his microwave midway through the interview.
The issue came up as the ex-vampire tried to demonstrate a pasta experiment that went wrong, which had included the steps of microwaving pasta in aluminium foil, which was thus the reason for the microwave setting a light.
The actor is set to be the next Batman and bulking up in isolation but had admitted to “…just barely doing anything.”
