Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear away quietly.
Chicken can be added.
