There’s nothing quite like a cold beer, a craft cider or an ice cold glass of Hampshire wine in a pub garden, courtyard or terrace in the height of the English summer. Maybe it whisks us back to foreign holidays or to childhood memories of being sat outside a pub with a bottle of coke, a straw and a packet of crisps!

Our patch definitely has its pubs with an iconic reputation for their outdoor space or for their unbelievable views – but we have a plethora of members who would love to welcome you to their great outdoors.
