Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
