Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
