Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, with the pork and crackling too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
