Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Flat ground in the grounds
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
