For event organisers in Willen
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
