Sure, pub beer gardens are back open – but they’ve returned with a side of admin. In recent weeks, securing seats at Londons best outdoor drinking spots has involved booking waaayyy in advance. And nothing says fun like a strict two-hour timeslot policy! Luckily, takeaway pints are back too, and you don’t need to book yourself in for a session if you’re doing said session in the park. 

We’ve rounded up all the London pubs near parks that are serving beer and other delights for you to take away. One final thing to mention: many pubs are now encouraging you to bring along your own pint glass to help reduce single-use plastic consumption. Drop your local a line to see if it’s joining the #plasticfreepints movement.

Otherwise, though, bottoms up!

It was late March as lockdown hit the industry when I grabbed a table from inside the pub, stuck it in the front yard and placed a few bottles of wine and beer on it, hoping in some crazy way to try and create an off sales business that might help us through the pandemic...and maybe help a few of our customers through it too! Yet seven months on, that idea, born out of an instinct for survival, has become a vital part of our business now and going forward. Many businesses have suffered from this pandemic, many of whom have been genuinely helpless to do anything about it. But I'd like to think we've scrapped for every bit of trade, thought outside the box and managed to keep going, maintain jobs for the team and maybe when this is all over, have a better business for it...though I'd rather not go through it again. Finally a huge thanks to my customers, @bibendumwine and the sage that is @vinemistress without whom, none of this would have been possible. Thanks Heath
