About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
