Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events in Worting have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Before you choose a spot

- Information about power and water

Should I sort the food myself?
