We try and provide food that can be eaten by a range of people in our
outlets, vegetarian, vegan, halal etc bearing in mind demand and cost.
However, for events where people book to attend, we will provide the
food that is specifically required by individuals using the principle of
reasonable adjustments. I am not saying we always get it rght!

Anne

Subject: Food for Diabetics
Hello all
Could you help with this query? Are we legally obliged to provide food
for staff and students in the catering outlets suitable for people with
disabilities - i.e. gluten free, diabetic etc. Obviously, it makes
sense that we should provide catering suitable for as many people as
possible - but sometimes the numbers are so small that it would not make
it commercially viable.
