We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. December parties in Penwood are dark from about 4:00pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
