Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
