What else we do in St Mary's
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
