Going to the pub you're likely to either use public transport, a taxi or walk, there's significant social interaction in any of those methods.
Whilst i can agree with regards to people meeting indoors being stopped. I'm not so sure why the meeting in gardens has to?

It's a bit confusing as Matt Hancock's tweet said "The spread is largely due to households meeting and not abiding to social distancing. So from midnight tonight, people from different households will not be allowed to meet each other indoors in these areas." So, no reference to gardens there.
The Government promised a press conference for any big announcement but it seems to believe this is not such an announcement.
I would have thought good practice would be to either let everyone know as soon as possible as they did then follow up with a press conference the next day or just announce it at the press conference so the message is as clear as possible. (Clarity v speed of messaging debate)
