Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
