Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
