Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
