Allergies and dietary needs

- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
