Pubgoers want a garden to enjoy – here’s why

THE old adage of a pub being all spit and sawdust couldn’t be further from the truth for modern pubgoers.

New research shows that seven in 10 customers think the garden is a pub’s most appealing feature, with country pubs being best.

The Chef & Brewer Collection conducted the survey, finding that when it comes to what makes a beer garden great, beautiful landscaping was the most important element according to 18% of respondents, followed by having ample amounts of greenery (15%) and picturesque views (14%).

Classic country pubs are the top choice (39%) for customers, followed by wine bars (18%), cocktail bars (15%) and city pubs (9%).

Similarly, despite the wide variety of drinks on offer in most pubs, beer remains the UK’s top choice, with nearly a third of people surveyed (27%) opting for a pint when relaxing in a beer garden. The next most popular option was red wine (20%), followed by cider (11%) and white wine (11%).

Heather Moore, senior marketing manager for the Chef & Brewer Collection said: “A good beer garden really is make or break for a pub, especially considering the fantastic weather we’ve had in recent weeks.

A garden that will keep on giving

“We’re incredibly proud of the amazing outdoor spaces we have in our pubs across the Collection.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re after a quiet evening drink or a relaxing al fresco dining experience, we’ve got something for you.”

To celebrate the great outdoors, the Chef & Brewer Collection is launching a national #mypubgarden competition, where customers can win a two-night stay in a Chef & Brewer Collection hotel, and enjoy dinner and a bottle of prosecco on one of the evenings.

To take part, all customers have to do is head to their local Chef & Brewer Collection pub, such as Ye Olde Leathern Bottel in Wokingham, and The Shire House in Littlewick Green, and take a picture or video of themselves enjoying the pub’s beer garden.

Entries must use the hashtag #mypubgarden and tag the pub’s location too.
