The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Uckfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
