What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it is light in Banstead until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
