Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
