Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
