  1. Yes

  1. depends on the weather, in a good summer maybe 2/3 times a week.
  2. we would pick up our plates and finish our meal inside I suppose. Not happened yet though. If it looked like rain we would eat inside.
  3. table, bench and folding chairs that came with the patio table.
  4. depends on the weather & the actual meal. If too hot or too cold then indoors, a simple meal is fine outside but full on roast outside doesn’t feel right.

  1. No
  2. Go inside
  3. Yes but it is rarely used.
  4. Indoors. I quite like eating on a terrace but only when it's covered by an awning. I like eating outside when I'm abroad but not really in Scotland.

  1. No - flies when it's warm and cold food when it's not :(
  2. Go inside
  3. Yes but very rarely used.
  4. Indoors. Don't mind too much when I'm abroad, but it's generally cooler inside and usually going for food is a break from the sun.

On a nice day, i would be happy to drink outside and maybe a sandwich or burger depending on the level of flies/seagulls.

Only get to eat outside (at home) 2)3 times over the summer.

More likely to eat outside at a cafe.

Dont even attempt it if a chance of rain.

1: Once or twice a week if the weather is good more if particularly nice - more likely to do so foe lunch then dinner.

2: Go indoors if at home

3: Yes have table chairs and parasol

4: Cafes yes, restaurants not really as tend to find service can get a bit forgotten about when outside in restaurants.

  1. Yes, as often as possible (at home) and quite a lot of picnics away from home too. (we're retired)
  2. Depends how heavy! Would probably try to move under shelter.
  3. Yes, table and chairs on patio.
  4. Depends on weather and location. Not a fan of sitting on a narrow pavement or next to traffic etc. A garden setting is great.

I'm curious about why you are asking, OP.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 02/08/2021 18:02
  1. Yes, quite a lot at home. A few times a week if the weather is good. More so earlier in the summer though.
  1. I'd go inside if I was at home.
  1. Yup, dedicated area for eating in the garden
  1. Depends on the weather and likelihood of being bothered by wasps!

  1. Do you eat outdoors often? - any time it's sunny really.

  2. If you are eating outdoors and it starts to rain what do you do? - unless it's a light passing shower then I'd go inside

  3. Do you have any outdoor furniture which you eat at when at home? - yes

  4. If you were going out for a meal would you prefer to eat outside or indoors? - depends on the type of meal and on the weather.
