Should I cook it myself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Looking after everyone

- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
