Looking for somewhere to eat outdoors this Bank Holiday weekend and during the summer months? Here's five of the best al fresco dining spots in Welwyn Hatfield.
1. The Tilbury - Datchworth
Who doesn’t love fine dining in a tepee, right? Well, that is exactly what you can do at The Tilbury.
The eclectic venue in Datchworth offers an a la carte menu of refined British cuisine, while pub classics are also available as well as a wide selection of drinks.
The Tilbury’s large terrace and garden, which includes a tepee, is perfect outdoor dining on a sun-soaked afternoon or warm evening.

2. Farm Yard - Tewin
For those after some entertainment with their al fresco dining, we highly recommend the Farm Yard at Tewin Bury Farm.
Book a table, hut or bench, then sit back and enjoy a night filled with street food, cocktails and live music, all while set in 700 acres of glorious, unspoiled Hertfordshire countryside.
There are plenty of upcoming Farm Yard Sessions, with performances at weekends and a bumper calendar for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Weekend in June.

3. The Coach House Kitchen - Hatfield
Opened in May last year, The Coach House Kitchen at Hatfield House has quickly become one of the town’s premier dining destinations.
Serving up fine food there is indoor seating, but the al fresco dining in the house’s picturesque courtyard is a must-do for diners.
The restaurant offers a varying menu, from the deli serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and light bites.

4. Picnic Social - Welwyn Garden City
If you fancy al fresco with a street food twist, then Welwyn Garden City’s Picnic Social is for you.
Found in the Wheat Quarter on Hyde Way, the kitchen is located inside a converted container with plenty of space to sit and stand while you enjoy your food.
There is plenty on offer too, including street food classics such as burgers, chicken and steak, with alcohol also available to punters.
Although somewhat tucked away, Picnic Social is the perfect place for a sunny evening with friends.
