Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We pack away straight after service.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
