Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
