British pubs & restaurants : opening times and location

Question

Google maps shows nearby pubs and restaurants. But it does not show if they are currently open, which is frustrating at some times of day.

If I google search for the establishment, they often have the opening hours.

I would like to create a mash up of these, but doubt that google would appreciate me scraping its data.

Is there any open database of British eating & drinking establishments with

Even if it is incomplete, my main aim is to say "if you walk there now, it will definitely be open".

In theory OSM https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours — philshem, Dec 01 '19 at 19:25

In theory, OSM should store the data (although unlikely to be as actual as other non-open sources)

See here for how to download bulk data and how to parse records to keep only certain keys/tags.
