A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

- A covered eating area
- A safe distance from kit
- A named contact at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
