Yes.
Organised for Saturday from 17:00 onwards.
They have a decent sized, secluded garden at the front of their home that is accessed from the drive. So no walking through a confined space, easy distancing in the garden, and we'll bring our own wine, beer, and tumblers.
Have procured some face masks from work for the taxi home, and we always have hand sanitizer with us as a matter of course.

1.4 Can I meet my friends and family in the park?
You can meet one other person from outside your household if you are outdoors. Public gatherings of more than 2 people from different households are prohibited in law. There are no limits on gatherings in the park with members of your household.
1.5 On what date can I expand my household group?
The government has asked the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) to advise on the concept of “bubbles”, which would mean allowing people to expand their household group to include one other household. For the time being, you cannot visit friends or family, except to spend time outdoors with up to one person from a different household.

We arrive at our friend's house, and enter their secluded front garden. This act will not include entering their home.
Greetings will be exchanged whilst complying with current distancing regulations.
Seating has been arranged to comply with the same.
Drinks and snacks will be consumed by those who purchased them, from receptacles either sourced from their home and returned to the same, or receptacles of the disposable variety.
We will be spending time outdoors, as a couple, with another couple whilst complying with current distancing regulations.
Anyway, as of 10 mins ago, it may not happen as the weather forecast for Saturday is not as agreeable as we all thought.
