About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Away from emergency routes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Whitchurch

Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
