And they urged customers: “Bring your own blanket.”

And customers have assured them they will be there.

Meanwhile, the Norfolk Arms in Crawley Road, Horsham said: “Looking forward to welcoming those that brave the cold today.

“On a plus note, your beer won’t be getting warm.”

The Tipsy Fox in Southwater, which has installed two marquees in its garden, says it is fully booked for tonight.

And at The Bear in Horsham’s Market Square - which has a courtyard garden as well as dining tables outside its front door - landlords say: “We’re looking forward to seeing everyone again and doing what we do best ... enjoying ourselves.”
