Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
