Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level outdoor area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
