About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.

- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
