Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
