Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Share the allergen information in advance
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
