Cumberland Field

Outdoor dining The Woodhouse Arms is a rather up-market establishment these days - a luxury restaurant.  But the precautions introduced to cope with the Coronavirus pandemic meant it had to - rapidly - introduce outdoor dining, and here we see what is essentially an improvised outdoor restaurant with garden seating and umbrellas in a lawn.  Although the regulations have been relaxed, people are still using this sort of arrangement, partly as a precaution and partly because we quite enjoy al fresco, now we have got used to doing it somewhere other than the Mediterranean.
