The way people dine has changed. Today’s guests seek experiences that combine comfort, atmosphere, and flexibility, and that includes the ability to dine outdoors all year round. Whether it’s a sunny July afternoon or a crisp November evening, cafés, restaurants, and hotels are finding new ways to make outdoor dining inviting and profitable.

The challenge? The unpredictable British weather. The solution? Investing in smart outdoor shading and heating solutions that keep guests comfortable in every season.

Why All-Season Outdoor Dining Matters

For hospitality venues, outdoor space is a valuable yet often underused asset. With the right shading solutions, you can extend your trading area, increase seating capacity, and deliver memorable experiences that boost revenue.

A well-designed louvred roof or retractable roof shading system turns terraces, patios, or courtyards into functional dining areas that can remain open whatever the weather. By providing shelter from sun, rain, and wind, you can create an environment where guests can relax longer – increasing dwell time and average spend.

Year-round outdoor comfort also means greater flexibility. From private dining events and wedding receptions to casual coffee mornings and live music nights, your outdoor area becomes a versatile, revenue-generating space.

The Business Benefits of Shading Solutions

Maximise Capacity Without Expanding

Shading structures like gazebos and pergolas allow you to transform unused outdoor areas into fully booked dining spaces – without the cost or disruption of a building extension.

Enhance Guest Experience

Comfort is key to customer satisfaction. Heated, sheltered dining spaces encourage guests to linger longer, turning casual visits into longer stays and repeat business.

Protect Your Revenue from the Weather

Rain or wind shouldn’t mean empty tables. Weatherproof shading ensures business continuity, reducing cancellations and lost income while improving guest loyalty.

Shading Solutions That Work for Cafés, Restaurants & Hotels

Not all shading systems are created equal. Broadview’s commercial shading solutions are designed specifically for the hospitality industry – combining function, flexibility, and style.

Retractable & Louvred Pergolas & Gazebos

Control sunlight, airflow, and shelter with fully adjustable roof systems such as the Brustor B200 or B600. Open the roof to enjoy sunshine or close it completely to protect guests from wind and rain.

Side Screens & Glass Enclosures

Add retractable side screens or sleek glass panels to enhance weather protection, retain warmth, and create a premium enclosed feel without blocking the view. Combine retractable side screens with integrated heating for improved heat retention and lower running costs during cooler months.

Custom-Fit Designs for Every Venue

Every hospitality venue is different. That’s why our shading systems are bespoke, designed to suit your brand, layout, and customer flow – whether you manage a rooftop bar, coffee shop, garden terrace, or hotel courtyard.

Creating an Inviting Outdoor Atmosphere

The most successful outdoor spaces do more than provide shelter – they capture your brand’s personality. Thoughtful design touches help your shaded area feel like a seamless extension of your indoor space.

  • Lighting: Warm LED strips, pendant lights, or ambient uplighting can transform the mood from daytime brunch to evening dining.
  • Greenery and Décor: Planters, branded dividers, and fire pits create a welcoming, high-end look.
  • Sound: Subtle integrated speakers enhance ambience with curated playlists that complement your venue’s style.
