- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance

If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
