Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
