Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
