4 ways to make the most of your pub garden this summer

On warm summer days pub gardens are bursting with happy customers but how do you encourage them to stay once the sun slips behind the horizon? With years of experience helping pubs make the most of their outdoor spaces, Broadview’s experts have compiled their top four pieces of advice to ensure your garden stays busy long into the evening. 

Install pub garden shading solutions 

Installing parasols, umbrellas, an awning or even an outdoor structure in your pub garden not only provides your customers with a welcoming shady spot on hot summer days, but they also create a valuable sheltered area in the evenings. Broadview Commercial’s experts have helped many pubs improve their outdoor space with our range of bespoke outdoor shading solutions so to find out how we can help you, please contact our friendly team today. 

Create a warm atmosphere with LED lighting

With long summer days, your customers can enjoy your pub garden well into the evening, but once the sun does set, the space is plunged into darkness, cutting short their night. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. By fitting integrated LED lighting to your shading solution, you can transform a dark, unused space into a beautiful, practical and inviting area where your clients can continue having fun long into the night.  

Add heaters to your shading structures 

The British summertime is notoriously unreliable. One minute we can be enjoying clear blue skies and the next we’re having to wrap up against a chilly breeze. The evenings too can get rather cold which forces customers to move inside or, if that area is full, to leave altogether. Ensure that even on the cooler days and nights you can still employ the extra tables your outside space provides by installing outdoor heating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your customers to enjoy.  

Host outdoor events in your pub garden 

A great way to utilise your pub’s outdoor space is to host an event in your garden such as a BBQ, street food fair, cider festival or even an outdoor concert – the possibilities are endless! Think carefully about what kind of event your pub garden is able to host and what customers would actually enjoy to ensure a full crowd (you could even ask them for their preference). With your outdoor shading solution illuminated with LED lightings and made cosy with heaters, your customers are sure to keep coming back time and again.
