What are the things to consider when setting up an outdoor eating area?

Question

I want to set up an eating area in a nearby public park. I have noticed that it is much difficult to have a picnic there on the ground. It should accomodate about 10 persons. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use the park's picnic tables for a food table

Grab card tables or patio tables to use

Set up a tent for shade (unless you want to rick bird p**p)

Answer 2

Consider getting an equine fly repellent spray.  You can spray it on yourself, your pets, tables, walls.  (Before you put the food out of course)  I use stuff called "Bronco Equine Fly Spray".  It will drastically reduce the fly problem.  It also won't stain clothing or furniture.  "Bronco" has a citronella scent just like bug repelling candles.

Answer 3

don't forget about ants, don't put it under tree, unless you have canopy, birds may land in tree and do what they do naturally.
