Planning for dietary needs

- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Chicken can be added.

- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
