Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
