Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
