Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
