If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
