Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We serve quickly on the call.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
