A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
