Should we cook another ham? How many jacket potatoes will be ordered? How many staff will we need? How many scones should we bake?
All impossible questions to answer with any certainty.
Monday was relatively steady and posed no problems.
Tuesday a little busier but easily managed.
On Wednesday, when I was away taking my younger son to start university, everyone else in the world decided to have lunch at the tearooms.
Yesterday we were prepared for busy.
Then the phone rang.
It was one of the staff at Witley Court telling us that a coach of thirty people had turned up. There’d be a quick tour of the Court and then they’d be coming to us.
We went into overdrive on preparation.
A few lunch orders came in, a few coffee orders.
A few take-away orders.
One lady mentioned that she didn’t have time for lunch as they had to get back...
The coach party didn’t really materialise, just a handful of them made their way to us.
Fortunately we were pleasantly busy with non-coach visitors so our adrenaline wasn’t wasted.
