What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Someone to meet us
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Bassett
