Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
