Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How our party hog roast works in Netherne on-the-Hill
