Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
