Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.
