It's tommorow night (despite the forecast of rain )

We are fine for meat etc as have ordered in lots of halal chicken and burgers and everyone will be eating these. Also plan to do lots of veggie skewers and salads etc.

But some of our guests are not Muslim so will almost certainly be expecting beer and wine but can we serve it?

I don't want to offend our Muslim friends and have put masses of effort into getting the food just right for them (and really looking forward to it

Anyone any experience on this? Can we serve alcohol but also provide lots of soft drinks as an alternative too? Or would alcohol on the premises be a complete no no!

Also one of guests is a Chelsea supporter and one supports Man U (dear god) so beer will be hard to avoid.

What if they bring their own?
I am am panicking now and feel like cancelling!!!!!!!!

It was great

The rain held off and the dog behaved himself!
Really nice to catch up with everyone, thanks for your advice.

I am enjoying a glass of wine now

Mmmmmmmmm Red Day kebabs....

Does that count as a sin?

The kebabs were syn free but the wine afterwards certainly wasn't
