Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
