Gluten-free cocktail for companies: which pieces to choose and how to put together your guests' plate

8 gluten-free cocktail pieces delivered in Paris: which ones, in which formula, and how to put together your gluten-free guests' plate.

A company cocktail almost always has one or two guests who avoid gluten. At L'Écrin Traiteur, eight cocktail pieces are gluten-free by recipe: six savoury pieces, the macarons and the crisps. There is no 100% gluten-free cocktail, because the other pieces in the formulas contain gluten. The solution: put together, for the guests concerned, a plate from these pieces, labelled, stated in the quote with the number of people.

Which formula to choose when a guest is gluten-free?

FormulaPrice per person (excl. VAT)Gluten-free savoury piecesFor a gluten-free guest
La Célébration (16 pieces)€51.906 out of 12The widest choice: prawn, marinated salmon, ratte potato, tandoori and two millefeuilles
La Réception (12 pieces)€40.905 out of 9Marinated salmon, ratte potato, tandoori and two millefeuilles
L'Invitation (8 pieces)€29.903 out of 6Ratte potato, tandoori and beetroot and goat cheese millefeuille
L'Afterwork (10 pieces, cheese board and crisps)€35.900 out of 7Only the macarons and the crisps: a poorly suited formula

If one or more guests are gluten-free, La Célébration and La Réception offer the most choice. L'Afterwork is the least suitable formula: its savoury pieces are all bread-based. The detail of each formula is on the cocktails page.

How the gluten-free plate is put together

  1. You state the number of gluten-free guests in the quote request, with the date, the address and the total headcount.
  2. We put together their plate from the gluten-free pieces of the formula you chose.
  3. The pieces are labelled and an allergen table is attached to the quote and the delivery note.
  4. You tell your guests: as the plate is labelled, everyone knows what they are eating.

What "gluten-free" means with us

These eight pieces are gluten-free by recipe. However, L'Écrin Traiteur's workshop also handles wheat flour: we cannot guarantee the total absence of traces. For a coeliac or allergic guest, say so in the quote request so that we can advise you. The allergen information obligations are detailed in allergens: what a caterer must provide.

What this guide does not cover

  • Vegan and lactose-free. None of these pieces is designed as vegan, and most contain dairy (feta, goat cheese, onion cream). State these needs separately in the quote. See vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free pieces: how many to plan.
  • A fully gluten-free cocktail. It does not exist today: the composition of the formulas is fixed.

What budget for a cocktail for 20 people?

€29 excl. VAT delivery included, drinks not included, at the price of the formulas. The quote then specifies the gluten-free plate of the guests concerned.

FormulaPrice per person (excl. VAT)20 people delivered (excl. VAT)
L'Invitation, 8 pieces€29.90€627
La Réception, 12 pieces€40.90€847
La Célébration, 16 pieces€51.90€1,067

Drinks, a maître d'hôtel or hard tableware are added on request. To count quantities for your headcount, see how many cocktail pieces per person and the quantity calculator.
