Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Add chicken as an alternative.
