Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
