Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
