The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
