- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation

Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
