Country barbecues near Dummer are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
