- All the equipment comes with us

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
