Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
A hog roast compared with other options
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
