In the event that a guest appears to have over imbibed our staff isempowered to call them a taxi at the expense of Dark Horse Productions.• Because people are still new to the idea of a Sweet Pea Beer & Wine Garden weanticipate a certain number of guests who will arrive having "pre partied" beforeentering Lindley Park.
