A hog roast near Sutton at Hone
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
