Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
