Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
