Alfresco dreams are made of this…

As the temperature rises and the long summer holidays stretch ahead, we select nine superb Shepherd Neame sites with stunning gardens to relax in - with an ice cold beverage, of course!

The Juggs, Lewes

Every inch the classic country pub, The Juggs comes with a lovely garden and covered terrace to soak up the afternoon sun with the perfect pint or leisurely lunch.

The view from the restaurant is blooming marvellous as planted wildflower seeds have blossomed and attract wildlife, and the hanging baskets provide a riot of colour to take in.

It is a popular stop-off for walkers exploring the area, but is also good for families and some of the finest pub food in Lewes.
