Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Sign-off from management
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Seating for residents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
