Looking after everyone

- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance

The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
