About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
