Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
