Clearly not, but it means 1 junior minister, 1 PM speech and 1 twitter apology later, we still don't appear to know the answer to the actual question.
It's difficult because if the answer is "yes" perhaps they don't want to say that, as it would still be contrary to the guidance.
If that's the case, it might be because defining a pub garden is difficult within legislation, or that they intended to allow pubs to still serve groups of up to 6 outside, to aid their business, in which case - why is it against the guidance?
I think I'm lost now.

Still not sure it answers the question, which was "can up to 6 from different households meet in a pub garden?"
The answer is either "no" on the grounds that the pub garden is still the pub, or "yes" on the grounds that its outside, and meeting in a group of six outside is not illegal (but is against the guidance).
