Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Woolbeding
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Woolbeding, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Whether it is late-night shopping events and december open days, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes for your guests.
In winter near Woolbeding, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
