About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
