What is the best beer garden in the area?

Mine, it’s so peaceful and no queues for drink.
Sensibly though, always enjoyed the black bull in Yarm but remember standing in a line like the one outside the Holgate to get a pint!
 
I'm told the Devonport at Middleton One row has a nice beer garden now and we were going to give it a whirl this weekend but the good lady has come down with a virus so that's a no go. The place is more hotel / restaurant than out and out pub.
Hmm, that was my local for many a year, though their was no beer garden just benches out the front overlooking the river, was still nice on a warm day.

The old farmhouse that way has a very good beer garden as well. Also what was the fighting cocks that became platform one though no idea if it’s reopened as it had closed down last time I visited old friends.
 
Spent a couple of hours watching Richmondshire lose to Normanby Hall yesterday, Richmond's ground is a lovely spot.

Richmondshire stream their home games live on the internet which allow me to watch some of the game with Normanby being my club. A bit to far away to travel so I watched (unable to play at the minute myself) the 2nds who also won.

Becoming (or has become) a Sainsburys local......

Yeah as above it's a Sainsburys thing now - gets a lot of trade from the new estates at that end of the village, well actually it should be called MiddleTOWN St George now - they simply don't know when to stop building.

Yeah that estate was in phase one when I moved to Richmond. It was starting to lose its village feel then.
 
The beer garden at the linthorpe hotel (Linny) use to be great. But I’m talking about 20+ years ago. Don’t know what it’s like now.
Remember the random plastic-tree-with-a-face climbing frame/tree house tucked away in the corner?
 
Now this is a bit of a trek but you simply can't beat the Angel at Gilling West.
Right on the river and all the food is home made.
Well worth a trek on a nice day.

And the best outdoor seating in the area IMO is the courtyard at the Coach House, Middleton Lodge. Very pricey but worth a treat.
