Ascot station, about 3 miles south of the centre.
How do you handle allergies?

How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
