Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Access to the cooking area
