Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
