Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
