What’s the plan for food/meals?
The first two days (Good Friday / Easter Saturday) will be self service in the central kitchen at The Grange. Dinner times we are making DIY Pizza on the Good Friday, and Chicken with side dishes on Easter Saturday. Some people are keen to cook for others so we’ll work out a plan for sharing cookups, and in between times people who want to make snacks or meals for themselves will be able to.
Sunday will involve lots more people arriving so we plan to do wedding feast a la buffet style, so you’re not tied to one table! Mingle! Chat! Sit and talk to Craig’s folks, then go talk to Cindi’s! Come and dance, or hang in a hammock with your nibbles!
