Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Sign-off from management
- A named contact on the day
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
