Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
