Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
