Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
