Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
