The only thing you need to (legally) be wary of is the 3-in-90 rule. If you fly SEP often then it shouldn’t be an issue but you need to have three take offs and landings as sole manipulator of the controls in the SAME CLASs in the last 90 days before carrying passengers.
As it’s single crew, anybody else other than an instructor is classified as a passenger therefore you could do three solo circuits then pick up your friend and away you go.
Usual caveats on POH knowledge etc...
