About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
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
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Post allergen details at base
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
