Outside Lighting Ideas for beer gardens, pubs, and restaurants.

Never has it been more important for pubs, bars, cafes, and restaurants to offer customers a welcoming, contemporary, and inviting drinking and eating experience. Beer gardens and al fresco dining is now a popular activity for many in the UK, especially in the warmer months. Having a designated outdoor seating area is a big attraction to customers and it is something that has become more important in recent years.  

When considering how to style your business, you need to think about the outdoor fittings complementing the existing style, whether traditional or modern. Incorporating lighting is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways of achieving a warm, cosy and inviting ambience. Lights are easy to fit into all types of places and objects.

LED rope lights look good at a low-level below, the skirting’s or high on a wall to provide a soft, warm glow. The lighting chosen should create a gentle ambience but never be too bright or have a glare because this may give the customers a headache.

Cheap and easy to achieve, dressing a deck or beer garden up with some outdoor string lights is a fast and effective way to brighten up a dull outdoor space. Thanks to lighting innovation, you can now find string lights in various shapes, sizes, and colours, perfect for any style or occasion. Using string lights will encourage people to use seating for drinking during the evening or on gloomier days.

Curtain lights can make a huge statement with no fuss. You can choose whether the lights are hung vertically like a traditional curtain or suspended horizontally along a ceiling to create a gorgeous display. Similar to string light, curtain lights can be used in so many different ways.
