What to check with a caterer for a halal cocktail reception?
"Halal" does not mean the same thing from one caterer to the next. Five items deserve a precise question before you sign a quote.
| Item | What raises questions | At L'Écrin |
|---|---|---|
| Meat | Origin and slaughter | Halal across the whole menu, no pork |
| Cured meats | Ham, lardons, saucisson in the savoury canapés | No pork cured meats |
| Sauces and marinades | Wine, beer or alcohol in a reduction | No alcohol in the recipes |
| Desserts | Alcohol in a cream, pork gelatine | No alcohol; ask for the dessert's product sheet if in doubt |
| Drinks | Champagne, wine, beer | 100% alcohol-free drinks menu, 0% Chardonnay for the toast |
Should you plan a separate halal buffet?
No, and it is better to avoid one. A separate buffet singles out the people who use it. When the whole menu is halal and pork-free, everyone eats the same thing and nobody has to identify themselves. For vegetarian guests, simply plan a few labelled canapés: we add them on request, with the number of people concerned.
And the drinks?
Our drinks menu is alcohol-free: Alain Milliat juices and nectars, lime and ginger infusion, still and sparkling water, and a 0% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs for the toast. Allow 3 drinks per person for a two-hour reception, 3 to 4 beyond that.
