Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
