Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
