No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

We do not. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.

Can it be a sit-down meal?
