Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
