Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Access through the site gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
