    Eating out

    Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. I had wondered about phoning ahead and asking for adjustments to menus but wasn't sure how well that would be received. Sounds like it's something to try. Eating out locally is one thing, how do people manage going away on holiday? Sounds like a...
