Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
