Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Approval from the home
