Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In summer, Northend has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
