Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
