How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Autumn and winter barbecues in Wormley get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
