Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

About the food
