Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan cover for the queue
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
