Catering for Food Allergies

If you're planning a wedding or event, you might be worried about how to cater for guests with food allergies. No matter how great the food is, if your guests are all on gluten free diets they won't be able to enjoy your bread buffet.

As a caterer in San Digo, we know that paying attention to allergies can be a bigger task than just having peanut-free recipes. If you have guests with known allergies, it's worth mentioning this to us when we come up with your dream menu. We can work with you to plan a menu that is suitable for your guests, and that uses ingredients and preparation that take any allergies into consideration.



No matter how much you plan, though, you might get thrown closer to the day when a third cousin announces that his date for the day has a list of allergies longer than most cookbooks. In general, guests will expect that most of the common dietary requirements are catered for. 

It's common to offer two meat options and a vegetarian choice. As many meat eaters are also happy to have vegetarian options, it is also possible to offer one meat and one vegetarian option.

You might not see every allergy coming, but it is worth asking your bridal party and immediate family members if they have any special requirements. All other guests will usually happily work with what you provide.

If you're planning a wedding or other event in the San Diego area, get in touch today to discuss how we can prepare the perfect menu for you and your guests.
