Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
