Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Keep the queue dry
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
