Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.
