Last year, I had two outside and two in the greenhouse, as a test. The greenhouse tomatoes were slightly bigger. But I think the difference was more because of the feeding and watering, although I tried to give them the same treatment.
They were in the greenhouse in 12" pots filled with growbag compost (just because I like seeing them in pots). They were fed at the appropriate time. The greenhouse wasn't as sunny as it should be because we were waiting to get the tall hedge cut. This is now done so there is sun nearly all day. Maybe I'll get on better this year, with more light, the other variety I was growing - Gardeners delight-was also a bit small but not so bad.
Gardener's Delight should also be a reasonable size [ bigger than Sungold] so it sounds like the lack of light has been the problem. Good luck with them @sandyv - hope you have better success this year
It's amazing the difference it makes when they have that heat @pansyface. My house is rarely even that hot!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fingers crossed for this year. I now buy plants in, because although they germinate well in my propagator quite early , I cannot give them enough light (as opposed to heat) to stop them getting leggy, say in march, when its still too cold to go in GH.

They're better plants if allowed to germinate more slowly anyway
