Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
