Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
