Dietary Requirements & Allergens

Public Classes

• What does vegan-friendly or vegetarian-friendly mean?

  “Many of our Chefs’ home cuisines include meat dishes, and might not have a lot of vegan or vegetarian dishes. We teach our Chefs about dietary preferences during training, and help them to develop vegan or vegetarian alternatives where possible. To ensure as many people get to enjoy Migrateful classes as possible, we try to create menus that have a number of vegan and vegetarian options. At the same time, we also want you to experience the traditional dishes from their home country which may often include meat. The menu therefore may also include some dishes that are not vegan or not vegetarian. If a menu contains a good selection of vegan or vegetarian dishes that will leave a vegan or vegetarian feeling happy and satisfied, the menu is marked vegan-friendly or vegetarian-friendly. You are welcome to join a class and skip out on any dishes that do not suit your dietary requirements.”

• I have a milk or egg allergy, should I attend a class that is marked as vegan-friendly or vegetarian-friendly, or eat recipes marked vegan or vegetarian?

  We cannot guarantee that any of our cookery classes are completely free of any specific ingredient. Please read our Food and Allergens Policy. We therefore cannot guarantee, for example, that vegan or vegetarian recipes or menus are suitable for people with milk or egg allergies.

• Some of your recipes say V, VGN, M or F, what does that mean?

  These letters provide a quick idea of the dietary preference of a recipe. (V) Vegetarian (no meat), (VGN) Vegan (no animal products including meat, eggs and dairy), (M) Meat or (F) Fish.

• Some of your recipes offer substitutions, will this change the allergens in the recipe?

  ”
  Yes. We try our best to note the allergens on our recipes and class menus but different brands may be substituted so we recommend you check the product packaging in our cookery classes if you are concerned about particular allergens.”

• Allergen information

  ”
  We try our best to note the allergens on our recipes and class menus but different brands may be substituted so we recommend you check the product packaging in our cookery classes if you are concerned about particular allergens.”

• If I have a trace or airborne allergy should I attend a class?

  Ingredients used in our classes contain, may contain, or may have been manufactured/prepared on shared equipment with the 14 allergens (celery; cereals containing gluten; crustaceans; eggs; fish; lupin; milk; molluscs; mustard; peanuts; sesame; soybeans; sulphur dioxide and sulphites; and tree nuts). We cannot guarantee that any food or drink prepared or consumed in any of the Migrateful Cookery Classes are free from any of the 14 allergens, or any other ingredient. Migrateful’s Cookery Classes are hosted in our busy cookery school or in external venues that handle allergens. Even in classes where allergens are not used, the ingredients for the class may have been stored in close proximity to allergens and other ingredients, and/or equipment and surfaces may have previously come into contact with allergens and other ingredients. Participants attend classes at their own risk.

• I have an allergy or food intolerance, can you remove or substitute ingredients?

  “For public cookery classes, we cannot remove or substitute any ingredients, nor can we guarantee that any of our cookery classes are free of any specific ingredient. Read our Food and Allergens Policy. We have briefly summarised our types of classes below:
  For our Family Style Cookery Classes, 12 participants work as a team to cook multiple dishes at the same time. During the class, participants are encouraged to move around different stations.
  For our Team Style Cookery Classes (Brighton and Bristol), 12 participants work in teams to cook multiple dishes, these are usually split into meat/fish and vegetarian/vegan teams so participants can choose a team depending on their dietary requirements.
  For our Cookery Demos, the chef prepares the food with assistance from staff and participants.”

• I have a dietary requirement, can you remove or substitute an ingredient for me?

  ”
  We define ‘dietary requirements’ in our Food and Allergens Policy as ‘personal preferences in relation to food consumption that do not include a food allergy or food intolerance. People choose to eat particular diets for a variety of reasons: religious, environmental, moral, ethical, lifestyle, health.’
  We are unable to accommodate dietary requirements. We take care to clearly highlight the dietary suitability of the class menu or dishes (vegan, vegetarian, contains meat, contains fish). We recommend you only book into classes which suit your dietary requirements. We mark some menus as ‘vegetarian friendly’ or ‘vegan friendly’ as only 1 dish does not meet the dietary requirement. You are welcome to join a class and skip out on any dishes that do not suit your dietary requirements.”
