What else we do in Walter's Ash
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
