Food at Makor Hayim events

If you’re bringing food to an event

All food brought to Makor Hayim events must be vegetarian and nut-free.

We serve both vegan and non-vegan food, though we encourage attendees to bring vegan food where possible for our vegan guests.

Dishes and ingredients do not need to be certified Kosher provided they are vegetarian.

Home-cooked or shop-bought?

We recognise not everyone has the time or ability to cook food fresh for an event, so takeaways and shop-bought food are welcome, as are leftovers, provided the rules below are followed.


Food Safety Information

You must follow our food safety guidelines when purchasing, preparing, storing and transporting your food.

Once you’ve decided what you’re bringing, click the button below to fill out our dish registration form:

Register your dish

The form lets you tell us about any allergens in your dish and helps us to know safety guidelines were followed. You can do this on arrival, but doing it online saves you and us effort.

If you have an allergy

If you have an allergy, food intolerance or health condition affecting your diet, please let us know and we will be able to advise you further.

We clearly label dishes containing allergens so that you can avoid eating these. If you need us to ensure that an allergen is not present at all in the event space, it is essential you tell us in advance so we can make prospective chefs aware.

Note that since we cannot inspect individuals’ kitchens, Makor Hayim cannot guarantee food hygiene processes or the absence of particular ingredients in home-cooked dishes.
