Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
