Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
