What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Billingshurst until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
