Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
For event organisers in Chelsea Harbour

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Chelsea Harbour, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
