Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
