*Boggle*

I don't think I understand the question.

Allergies: advance bookings only, stating food issues.  Since I serve a 
varied menu, I can find a way to accommodate most people without it 
being WWIII.
Area tastes: tricky.  Southron Gaard are rumored to eat only delicious 
food.  (In general, the best way to deal with picky eaters is to go on 
serving a good variety of foods and ignore them.  We're cooks, not the 
parents of an indulged four-year-old.  They'll either get over it or eat 
elsewhere.)
Alcohol: here in NZ, we're delightfully outside the US SCA alcohol 
policy, so there's not actually anything stopping us from laying on 
drinks within local laws.  Having said that, BYO works for most people.
