When planning an event, dietary requirements for events are often missed until the last minute. Whether it’s a Wedding, Corporate event or Private gathering, there’s plenty to think about. Venue, timings, seating plan, budget. It can feel like a bit of a juggling act. But dietary requirements are often missed
When people talk about sustainable catering, it often starts and ends with compostable cups and wooden cutlery.
