Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- One contact for the day
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
