Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.

How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
