Sitting outside is our only option right now when visiting our favourite places to eat and drink. Unfortunately, we are in England, and the weather is being very typical of spring; Rain one minute, then sunshine the next. Planning where to go the becomes a task of finding somewhere with outdoor seating but with a cover.
So here is a list of places that have outside seating and will protect you from the rain!
The Palm
You don’t have to book at The Palm, but it is reccomended. And when you do book you can choose whether you want to sit under cover or not. You can book HERE.
