Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
