Sorry for long thread title!
I work in a place where there are around 100 members of staff. We recently had celebration drinks & nibbles, cakes etc in the staff canteen at lunchtime.Think end of a big project etc.
I have a dietary condition, which my manager, plus the level above them and 3 senior managers have all been told about. Would your employer ensure there was at least a packet of biscuits, crackers or cake that was suitable for you? Just a basic supermarket 'Free from' product, nothing elaborate.

If you have a dietary need, does your employer remember?

Thanks for your opinions. I never assume that there will be food for me, and I did have my lunch with me. This was a celebration of all our hard work, open to all staff, and I found it a bit upsetting to sit there and watch my colleagues tuck into cakes etc knowing there wasn't even a biscuit for me to have with my cuppa! But I will unclench now knowing that lots of other places would be the same.
Great to know that some places are more considerate & organised

Thanks GrumpySock
We weren't told in advance that there were to be treats provided, just an email on the morning of. So letting them know in advance wasn't really an option. But thanks everyone, I will bear your replies in mind for the future.
