Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
