Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Highsted: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Highsted?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
