Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Rolvenden comes at about 3:50pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
