IT'S a bank holiday weekend - a time when people are looking forward to a walk and a drink in the sunshine. Why not enjoy a drink and a bite to eat al fresco at one of these top 12 beer gardens? At the beginning of June, we wanted to find Mid Cheshire's Best Beer Garden and we shortlisted the top 12 destinations in the area. The Carriers Inn was a worthy winner taking the title for the third year running – a hat-trick of awards! When the sun is shining on a hot summer’s day, not much beats a cold, refreshing drink in a beer garden.
A drink or two al fresco with family and friends is the perfect way to enjoy the warm weather. OUR 10 BEST BEER GARDENS SHORTLIST: The Carriers Inn The Carriers Inn, Hatchmere Lake One nomination said: “One hundred per cent it’s The Carriers Inn.” Another said: “Perfect after a stroll around Delamere Forest.
