Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
