What else we do in Lower Basildon
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
