Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
