Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Away from opening windows
- A level outdoor area
- A spot that keeps access clear
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
