Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
