What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
