When to tell your caterer about dietary requirements

Several of our guests have dietary requirements, when should I tell our caterer?

"My daughter and I started growing fruit and veg during lockdown, which I then used to make jams and chutneys. These became very popular in my local community, so I started offering grazing boxes which included afternoon teas and cheese boards. This then led me to where I am today catering for wonderful events and weddings.

"As a small business that caters for large events, it’s extremely important to ask at the point of the order if there are any allergens or dietary requirement as using an item that someone has intolerances or allergies to could cost them their life or cause extremely complicated health implications. Ask your guests at your earliest convenience about any allergies/dietary requirements so you can pass them on to your cater to ensure they can accommodate any special requests."
