Food groups allowed
Food groups not allowed
In order to be accomodating for diverse religions as a general rule, avoid any pork products (e.g. ham,
bacon, pork, prosciutto) and avoid foods with alcohol as an ingredient. Alongside any alcoholic beverage
served, ensure that a non-alcoholic beverage is also served. When planning events we encourage you to
reach out to your guests for dietary restrictions as not every practitioner practices the same.
*HALAL refers to foods that are allowed to be
eaten according to Islamic law, and how an
animal is slaughtered
*Halal and *Kosher in some sects
