Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
We clear the pitch and take everything away.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Woodchurch are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
