With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
