favourite pub gardens

[Nibble]

Seeing as it is perfect pub garden weather I thought I would ask for people's favourite Brighton outdoor beer areas, maybe discover some gems?

I'll start with:

Battle of Trafalgar - best avoided after 5pm on Fridays as it's rammed but for a sunny afternoon session it is just the ticket.

Charles Napier - Very small but has a certain charm to it. Patio but leafy and private.

It's over to you.

I know it is quite far from Brighton, but the Black Rabbit in Arundel wins every time for me.

there is a WELL nice pub in bramber, with a garden backing onto the river. its quite old, but i cant remember for the life of me what it is called now

ive always enjoyed the windmill and the potters in burgess hill, and the red lion in lindfield is pretty good as well

It's lovely for a cold one after a stroll around the lake. Had a big problem with wasps last year though.

Been going there a few years, good if you can find a corner there to take over, Lovely pub.

Smoking ban has ruined the pub garden

It's certainly had an impact but I suppose it depends if you area smoker or not as to wether you feel they have been ruined.

Sidewinders is nice. Out at the back of the Hop Poles is good too.

Sidewinder I like, not too keen on the Hope poles.

The Sidewinder are doing a load of parties in their garden this month, shame I'm broke as a joke really.

Best I know is the Griffin in Fletching. Lovely terrace (very classy), nice grass slope rising up gently to a ridge which then dips down dramatically to give a view over the River Ouse

The Sportsman Amberley will always win this, I even have panoramic photos of the view. Alas they are massive and I don't know how to shrink them.

jack and jill at clayton is rather delightful as well
