Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
