Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late September, sunset in Sarisbury Green is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
