Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Count children separately
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
