Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Stanmore
