Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
