Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Barming Heath at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
