Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
