Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer hog roast day in Molesey, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
