Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September sunset in Sanderstead is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
