Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
