Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?

What happens on the day

Lunchtime bookings in Dogmersfield are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
