Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
