Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
