The Good Food Guide named the garden at The Brewers in Rattlesden one of the prettiest in the country in a round-up during the summer. 

Diners can still enjoy the garden in the cooler months with the outdoor heaters that are dotted around the picturesque patio out the back of the pub. 

2. Easton White Horse

Where: Easton

Nestled into the Deben Valley is the Easton White Horse.

Many travel from miles around to sample the delicious food on offer here, but the pub also boasts a covered outdoor area with heaters for those looking to spend time in the evening sitting outside.

Enjoy an evening meal without freezing as the sun goes down over the Suffolk countryside here, before the pretty fairy lights are turned on.

The Crown takes the heated garden to a whole new level, erecting a heated tipi for the winter months for those looking for a more magical winter experience. 

While the tipi is not currently set up for colder weather, this is definitely one to watch as the nights draw in for those looking for a cosy outdoor experience. 

4. The Four Horseshoes Inn

Where: Thornham Magna

In the middle of the rural countryside is a beautiful pub painted in the traditional Suffolk pink. 

Do not be fooled by the benches to the front of the inn; at the rear of the property is a covered heated terrace area which is perfect for a pint this autumn.
