Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
