For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
