Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
