Rolls and gluten-free rolls

What else we do in Trumps Green
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
