Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
