Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We clear away quietly.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from emergency routes
- Away from opening windows
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
