Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
