Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
