Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
