The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
