Notes for Those with Dietary Requirements
Whole-feast exclusions:
No dishes intentionally contain cloves, aniseed, nuts, iodised salt, canola oil, fish, rabbit, shellfish, watermelon or coriander.
Gluten Free:
We have provided gluten-free options for as many dishes as reasonably possible.
We’ve made a genuine effort to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and to make sure there are suitable options available throughout the event. However, as this is a volunteer-run kitchen catering for a large number of people, it simply isn’t practical for us to create customised versions of every dish for every individual dietary requirement.
Where reasonable adjustments can be made safely and without significantly increasing the workload of the kitchen team, we are very happy to make them. Beyond that, we do need to work within the planned menu and the capacity of our volunteers.
We’re also very happy to clarify ingredients and help you identify which dishes are suitable for your dietary needs. Please understand, though, that having a dietary requirement does not necessarily mean that every dish or course will have an individually tailored alternative.
If you’re unsure about anything, please ask us — we would much rather help you work out what is suitable than have you wondering! 😊
