Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Chilbolton at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
