Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
