As the British sunshine finally arrives, there's no better time to venture out to one of Surrey's loveliest outdoor drinking spots. With the May Bank Holiday weekend expected to bring warm and sunny weather, 16 country pubs across the county are the perfect destinations to enjoy a refreshing drink and delicious food under blue skies.

All venues in the Premium Country Pubs collection offer family and dog-friendly spaces, with excellent outdoor areas ranging from gorgeous gardens and quaint courtyards to trendy terraces. Whether you're looking for a peaceful afternoon with a pint or a social gathering with friends, there's something for everyone.

Summer Cocktails and Seasonal Fare

To mark the occasion, Premium Country Pubs has introduced a new summer-inspired cocktail collection across all 16 Surrey locations. The range celebrates longer, lighter days and the social spirit of British summer with bright, fresh flavours designed for relaxed, everyday occasions.

Signature cocktails include the fiery Spicy Margarita, the refreshing Bijou Spritz – a modern take on the Aperol favourite – and the delicious Disaronno Bakewell Sour. For those seeking something tropical, there's the Banana Jungle Bird, alongside a refreshing Strawberry Daiquiri, a timeless Negroni and the Pink Clover Club.

The new seasonal menu features dishes such as pan-roasted salmon served with juicy balsamic tomatoes, crispy capers, harissa lemon butter, green beans and soft pearl potatoes – perfect for enjoying in the garden.

Where to Go in Epsom

Epsom residents are well-served by the collection, with The Derby Arms located just a stone's throw from the world-famous Epsom Downs Racecourse. The pub features a fabulous terrace underneath a stretch tent, ideal for enjoying drinks and food while watching the races or simply soaking up the atmosphere.

Exploring the Collection

Right across Surrey, from riverside locations in Weybridge and Chertsey to charming village pubs in Pirbright and Windlesham, there are 16 venues to explore. Whether you're a walker seeking refreshment after a countryside ramble, a family looking for a welcoming spot near a duck pond, or simply someone wanting to make the most of the summer weather, the collection has something perfect for you.

Rebecca Lee, marketing manager at Premium Country Pubs collection, emphasised the group's focus on creating memorable summer moments. The venues aim to provide welcoming, unhurried experiences where guests can relax over drinks and food during the longer, lighter days ahead.
