Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing typically 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 isn’t disturbed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
