Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

A closer look at the menu
