Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
