Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Seating for residents
- A level outdoor area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
