Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A word with the neighbours
- A spot well away from the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
