The menu for each dinner is chosen under the guidance of Master Treasurer and Master Reader. One menu is selected for each event, and can be viewed on the relevant event page under the Inn Calendar. We ask all attendees to indicate if they have any specific dietaries or allergens we need to take into consideration. The Chef and his team will then usually prepare one suitable alternative, to cater for these requests.
Alternative meals can be provided only if requested in advance. Please ensure that you provide the Inn with the dietary requirements for you and any guests in advance and no later than 09:00 three working days before the event. Members of Middle Temple can add this information by logging into your account and going to ‘My upcoming events’ and editing your booking(s). Members of other Inns, where applicable, can email enquiries@middletemple.org.uk or phone 020 7427 4800.
The following can be accomodated;
- Vegetarian
- Halal
- Vegan
- Specific allergens
When seated in Hall please make a member of staff aware of these requirements so that they can serve you accordingly.
Kosher meals
The Inn is not able to provide Kosher meals, but can heat them if they are procured by a member from outside caterers. If a member procures his or her own food or does not have a meal at all, it may be possible to book a ticket for an event at no cost. Contact the Education Department on 020 7427 4800 (option 1) to request this.
Attending events whilst fasting (as a student who requires the Qualifying Session point)
Student members (including transferring lawyers) must attend all elements of an event in order to be awarded the Qualifying Session. Events will invariably include a reception and sometimes a dinner. For this reason, those who are fasting may prefer to book events outside the period of fasting.
