- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We clear away quietly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
