Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
