- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
