As soon as the warmer weather arrives, our minds naturally drift to pub gardens. We cannot help it. So, we have pulled together a selection of spots where you can soak up the sunshine and enjoy a drink in and around Bognor Regis.
A firm favourite with both locals and visitors, Jamie and his team have made themselves right at home on Scott Street, in the former Claremont site.
Their garden is an idyllic spot to catch up with friends and family, whether you are enjoying a pint or something a little sweeter. There is always something happening here too, so it is well worth keeping an eye on their socials. From live music to their popular Tuesday quiz and even yoga sessions, there is something for everyone.
If you are looking to be right in the heart of the action, The William Hardwicke is the place to be.
This distinctive dusty pink pub sits proudly between Bonito Lounge, Yummy Kebab and Pizza Express, and on a sunny day its front terrace quickly fills with people enjoying the atmosphere. It is lively, welcoming and perfect for a casual drink in the sun.
Well known for its fantastic lineup of local musical talent, The Hothampton Arms is a brilliant spot to enjoy live music in a relaxed setting.
Their garden offers the perfect place to step outside between sets and enjoy a bit of fresh air. Situated on London Road, it is a popular choice for locals and easy to drop into.
One of the first places you see as you step out of Bognor Regis train station, The Station is always full of energy.
Whether there is a match on, a game of pool underway, or friends catching up over a drink, there is always something going on. Their cosy outdoor space offers a great place to enjoy it all in the warmer months.
Perfectly positioned for a post-beach drink, The Waverley is always a popular choice on sunny days.
With views out to sea and a menu full of tempting options, it is easy to see why people choose to linger here. Just a short walk along the promenade from the pier, it is also conveniently located with parking nearby.
Set in the heart of Felpham village, The Fox offers a welcoming space with plenty of room to enjoy the sunshine.
From its wraparound outdoor area to the colourful beach huts offering a little shade, it is a lovely place to settle in for the afternoon. With a wide selection of cocktails, beers, ciders and wines, alongside its rich local history, it is a destination in its own right. William Blake was known to frequent The Fox, and his former home is just down the road. It is around a 20 minute walk along the promenade, or you can make use of their spacious car park.
