Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how many portions traders can serve
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
