Planning for dietary needs

Some residents will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

Count families and staff too
Request gluten-free rolls
Plan separately for halal if needed
Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.

Serving on plates is frequently easier.

What the cooking area needs

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

Sign-off from management
Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
A spot that keeps access clear

West Hampstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
