After-work summer events in Drayton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 9:00pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
