Request the garden when booking; its FAQ says a particular seating area cannot be guaranteed. View venue → · Official venue → · Seating & dog FAQs →

A better outdoor pub plan
A beer garden can be a landscaped garden, a courtyard, an outdoor deck or a pub backyard. Compare the actual space and what your group needs, rather than treating every outdoor pub as the same. For a larger group, request an outdoor table and check food-service times; a venue being open does not guarantee its kitchen is.
Covered areas have not been verified across this shortlist. If rain, shade or step-free access matters, ask the venue about the exact table before booking. Dog-friendly and family-friendly policies can still have area or time conditions.
