Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
