- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Clear of bedroom windows
Hackney Wick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
