Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
