DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
Lotus Dining requires a minimum of 72 hours (or 7 days for large events) for all dietary requirements and allergy notices to be communicated. It is important to note that while we take the utmost care and all reasonable precautions when catering for dietary requirements, due to our style of cooking carried out in a commercial kitchen, we cannot rule out the risk of cross contamination of the food we produced with allergens, and you must communicate this to event guests. It is recommended guests bring any necessary medication with them to the venue.
