Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late September, sunset in Cowley is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
