Allergen-aware catering in Harrow and London
Planning an event with halal, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free or serious allergy requirements takes clear decisions early. The Teal Dragon Scoff builds those needs into the menu, preparation plan and service notes.
Every guest gets choice.
Inclusive by design
Dietary guests should see real choices, not a lonely side plate. We plan shared menus where the dishes look and taste part of the main event.
Seasonal vegetables, pulses, grains and sauces give a vegan table enough variety to satisfy the whole room.
Try roasted aubergine with herbed couscous, lentil koftas or a colourful vegetarian buffet with plant-based sides.
We discuss halal sourcing, suitable proteins and service separation before ingredients are ordered.
Menu labels identify halal dishes clearly, with preparation notes shared with the event service team.
Ingredient checks and clear dish labels make it easier for guests to choose gluten-free catering and dairy-free options.
Fresh salads, rice dishes, grilled proteins and fruit-led desserts can create a full menu without wheat or dairy ingredients.
Lighter menus can still feel generous, with fresh produce, lean proteins and satisfying grains.
These options suit training days, office lunches and daytime receptions where guests want energy without a heavy meal.
Mixed menus bring familiar comfort and fresh flavour together, so dietary choices feel part of the occasion.
We can combine Mediterranean salads, fragrant rice, spiced vegetables and British favourites around one clear service plan.
We record dietary information before the event and make it easy for the service team to act on the final brief.
For coeliac disease or serious allergies, tell us early so we can discuss the appropriate controls and event-day arrangements.
Flavour without compromise
A good inclusive menu starts with the cooking plan. We discuss sourcing, recipes and service before the first tray is prepared.
The main menu stays generous.
Talk through your menuWe record the requirement in plain language, then match dishes and service details to it.
Careful information, clear service
We check recipes and supplier information, then turn the agreed details into labels and a practical service brief.
Please tell us early.
We note gluten, dairy and other allergens, plus whether the request relates to preference, intolerance, coeliac disease or a serious allergy.
Recipes, bought-in products and substitutions are reviewed before the final menu is confirmed.
Where suitable, separate preparation workflows and serving utensils help reduce cross-contact. We explain the controls available for your event.
Labels and service notes keep the agreed information close to the people serving your guests.

Vegan | Gluten-free ingredients | Contains sesame in dressing
Lighter event menus
A healthy corporate lunch needs enough substance for a working day. We keep flavour in the plan while reducing heavy sauces, oversized portions and highly processed extras.
Whole grains, roasted vegetables and bright dressings give office lunches colour and staying power.
Choose grilled chicken, fish or plant-based protein with salads and measured sides for a lighter buffet.
Fruit, yoghurt alternatives, vegetable crudites and smaller savoury bites suit training days and morning meetings.
Before the event
Send your guest information as soon as the venue and date are known. We can then shape the menu, confirm ingredients and allow sensible contingency portions.
Tell The Teal Dragon Scoff your event date, guest numbers and dietary requirements. We’ll help you decide what needs a full separate preparation plan and what can sit confidently within the shared menu.
