What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In summer, Farnham Royal has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
