Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
