Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
