Food preferences and allergies.

 Please contact the Food Coordinator  with concerns in advance. As some of the dishes are prepared in advance, we may not be able to accommodate last minute notifications of allergies.  We do our best to offer a variety of food to accommodate gluten, vegetarian and lactose needs. However, please note that we cannot guarantee that there will be no cross contamination of ingredients either during preparation or serving.  If you have anaphylactic food allergies I recommend brining your own food.
