Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
For event organisers in Furnace Wood
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
