The process

After-work summer events in Bramley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer.

- Keep alternatives clearly labelled

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planning the cooking spot
