Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In summer, Hampton Poyle has daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
