About this space

Beer Garden & Pergola is a semi-private outdoor space in The Dun Cow pub, defined by a sheltered pergola that provides covered outdoor seating beside an open lawn.

Design: The space has a traditional village-pub garden look, combining stone paving, timber picnic benches and planted borders. The layout is open and level, with mature hedging that frames the outdoor area and strong natural light throughout.

Features: The garden provides picnic-style seating on both paved and grassed areas. The space permits own music and the use of an external DJ, and guest Wi‑Fi is available. The entrance is step-free and the area is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Small social groups and community gatherings that favour relaxed, informal outdoor dining and standing drinks.

What guests say: The garden is pleasant and welcoming and creates a cosy, friendly atmosphere.

• Events at The Dun Cow must be agreed in advance, including timings, guest numbers, food, entertainment, decorations and use of indoor or outdoor areas. A deposit may be required, and agreed hire fees and minimum spend apply.

• The person making the booking is responsible for their guests and for any damage caused during the event. Guests must behave respectfully towards staff, neighbours and other customers. We reserve the right to refuse service or end an event early if behaviour becomes unsafe or disruptive.

• Alcohol must be purchased from The Dun Cow, and outside drinks are not permitted unless agreed in writing. Outside food is only allowed by prior agreement, such as celebration cakes or specific dietary requirements.

• Decorations, music and entertainment must be approved in advance. Glitter, confetti, candles, smoke machines and anything likely to cause damage, mess or fire risk may not be permitted. Amplified sound must be kept at a suitable level, especially in the evening and outdoors.

• Children must be supervised at all times. Dogs may be welcome by arrangement if well behaved. Outdoor areas, including the beer garden and pergola, are weather-dependent and may be subject to noise restrictions or earlier closing times.

• Guests must leave quietly and respectfully at the end of the event. Our aim is to provide a relaxed, enjoyable village pub setting while keeping the space safe, welcoming and considerate for everyone.
