Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
