Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
