Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask about china.

What happens on the day

On a winter shoot near Dadford, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
