Food allergies: If any of your guests have food allergies or intolerances, please inform us before placing your order so we can consult with our trusted caterers regarding your requirements.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure your food is prepared responsibly and that you are informed of products that clearly contain allergens (as provided by the manufacturers), some of these products may be prepared in areas that also contain traces of allergens, so a buffet menu may not be suitable for Coeliacs or people with other severe allergies or intolerances.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of any of the menus on our catered trips, please speak to The Matthew office when booking your trip.
