Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A summer party in High Halden stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
