Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
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’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
