Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Questions from Sulhamstead Abbots
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Sulhamstead Abbots close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
