💡 Insider Host Pro-Tips

  • Rule of British Garden Hosting: Always have enough covered marquee space for 100% of guests in case of a sudden summer downpour.
  • Pimms jugs are high-yield and economical: 1 part Pimms No. 1 to 3 parts lemonade, packed with mint, cucumber, strawberries, and orange slices.
