Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
