Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
