12 pubs in Basingstoke and Deane with new and improved beer gardens Just 72 hours left. The day all of us have been waiting for is finally approaching. From Monday, our favourite local pubs with gardens seating will reopen as Government eases the strict lockdown restrictions. A few waterholes might also look a bit different than we remember as they have refurbished during lockdown to accommodate more people for outdoor drinking. Some of them have transformed their beer gardens into stylish spaces with gazebos, pods and outdoor dining areas to allow as many people as possible to make the most of lockdown easing.
