Al Fresco Drinking

Where: The Pig on the Hill

About: Al fresco drinking is one of our favourite Spring/Summer pastimes. What better way to unwind and relax than with a cheeky glass of Pimms? The sun-blessed, picnic-benched beer garden at The Pig is a real sun trap, and the perfect al fresco spot to enjoy a pint (or two). It's known to fill up fast though, so make sure to head down early.
