What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Abbotswood until about 9:25pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
