Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.

For event organisers in Winnersh
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
