Alfresco eating and drinking

Something we can be grateful to the pandemic for?

I think continental eating outdoors is maybe better with continental type weather really.

I like eating and drinking outside, as long as I am dressed appropriately.

The benefit of sitting outside at this time of year is fewer wasps to annoy me!

I eat lunch outside at restaurants as I usually have the dog. I enjoy it.

Like eating outside in the summer but wouldn’t enjoy the driving rain, freezing winds even with a blanket and heater
No inside for me in the winter

We love sitting outside. We sat outside yesterday at a cafe in the square. I must admit though I wouldn’t eat outside if I needed a blanket.
The first time we saw heaters outside was years ago in Leicester Square on my DDs birthday. It was exciting to be sitting outside in November in the UK.

I meant to say we sat outside yesterday.

I love eating, drinking outdoors...I live by the moors and Theres a wonderful pop up coffee and cake van...beautiful views also

I first saw the blankets for outside eating in Denmark a few years ago, now they're all over the place here. I love eating outside, but only if it's warm enough.

There are always blankets outside in Germany too. Just wonder how often they get cleaned...

I don’t mind eating outside if it’s not too cold/wet/windy
but much prefer to do so in the sunshine ☀️

Don't like eating Al fresco unless it is in my own garden.

I love to eat outside but only if no more than a light cardigan is needed.

I think the fashion for eating al fresco in the U.K. started with the introduction of the smoking ban in cafes and pubs. I don't think that the British weather is conducive to sitting outside, certainly not where I live in S.W. Wales, where it rains so often.
Personally I never sit outside, even in warmer climes, as I have a bird phobia and pigeons seem to follow me around.

I'd eat outside at anytime of year if I was dressed warmly. There is the slight issue that your food cools so quickly due to the low temperature, but other than that, I'm happy. Does depend on location of course. I don't like to sit outside if traffic is passing. Fumes and pollution with your food anyone?

Many of the sea-front restaurants here have very large plastic canopies on their frontages. Inside of these are several tables and chairs for diners. The sides can be rolled up/down according to weather conditions. When they are totally down, then all the dining tables are totally enclosed, but diners can still see the sea and 'feel' like they are outside.

I love having my coffee and eating outside. We have quite a few local cafes & garden centres which have had these outdoor areas since way before the pandemic.

I love eating outside, especially on a warm night in August when the house lights are on, some how it makes ordinary food taste special.
I also like having a coffee outside at home or in town weather permitting.Unfortunately, I now live in the wet northwest.

I only enjoy eating outside if having a picnic.
