When/if we are allowed out this year can you recommend any decent beer gardens? Might not be able to drink but I miss actually socialising and basking in the sunshine. Though I'd plan ahead 😂

Bluebell was decent last time I was in. @royal white you venture down that neck of the woods?

Yes there’s a few decent boozers around “monton Carlo” I’ve not been in the beer garden at the BB though. I’ll pencil that in for 2027 when we can go out again. 

After this many months, I'll sit on the hard shoulder of j31 of the M6 if it means drinking pub beer

Don't think the Bluebell has a beer garden? Just tables at the front and side under umbrellas. Lovely view of the car park and main road 😁

Sadly that’s a beer garden now. How many boozers do you know with an outside beer garden with views? Bluebell is a cracking pub IMO 

Go to Cartmel in Cumbria, little place called Unsworths Yard.

It's got the perfect set up for an afternoon alfresco drinking and nibbles in a quaint village.

Golden Eagle on the costa del cleveleys.

Height of summer every wrongun, weekend millionaire, drug dealer, dolly bird and casually violent cocaine connasuer congregates in the massive beer garden.

South facing with glorious sunshine all day. More drugs and tits than you can ger your grubby mits. Plus plenty of muscle bound gym bunnies with rose and clock tattoos fully on show for you BB.

They normally have EagleFest every may bank holiday. A truck facing the beer garden with its side open and they have bands playing from 12-12 all weekend, much to the local residents delight.

What a gaff 🤣

Sounds a good do 👌

It’ll be interesting to see how many pubs will have survived

Pendle Inn in barley. 

Went for a walk up there last lockdown and the beer garden looked lovely but I was driving so had to walk by looking longingly at the folk supping lovely pints.

Foods meant to be good isn't it? Best do steak and ale pie or I'm not entertaining it.

Isn't fanny's full of plastic millionaires? Retreat wasn't the greatest last time i went it. Best entertainment was watching a couple so rude things to one another at a table thinking others can't see them. I did. 🤣🤣

I’ve heard people saying that before but I’ve never experienced it

Pack horse at affetside is a cracking spot

Ten Bob millionaires. Hate Fanny’s with a passion.

Agree about Pack Horse although it seemed to have become more about the restaurant than the pub last time I was there.
