For certain events this may not always be possible, so all Catering staff have been trained to understand the dietary requirements required by different faiths to help improve our service to you and are briefed daily on the dishes we serve and are able to assist in identifying these for customers on request.
All other products prepared on site including Lamb dishes are not Halal. All dishes that are not created on site and which are Halal will be clearly labelled as such, including Sandwiches.
