Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
