For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Chicken can be added.
