Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
