How the day works

- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
