Patio garden area on right side of pub has a mixture of tables, chairs and benches. A colourful variety of flowers are planted in high level beds made of timber on the river side of the patio garden area.

'The Little Shefford' kiosk at the side provides tea and coffee which can be taken away or enjoyed on the riverside terrace.

A Facebook message from Joshua & Georgi (25/10/23) mentions 'Sunday (29/10/23) will be our final day of service. ... Unfortunately, as for so many hospitality businesses, the challenges following the pandemic have been too great. '
