How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Belsize Park has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
