Dear Yve
I would advise you to ask your local Environmental Health Dept.to give the answers you need about Hygiene training and if necessary hire a caterer to provide the food for your function with your Greek colleagues giving the advice and requirements to your chosen Caterer.
This way the responsibility is with the Caterer and not you or your company.
Hope this helps and you have a lovely evening.
Regards

Dear Steve
It is a legal requirement that all catering staff wear correct protective working clothes to prevent risk of cross contamination in Foodservice operations.
Hair is a foreign body, categorised as Physical Contamination, that can be found in food by staff who are not wearing the correct protective clothing. This risk is something that can be controlled by wearing suitable head cover such as a hairnet and/or a hat. So long as the head is covered to avoid the possibility of hair falling out onto either work surfaces or into food, the employee is working legally.
Without such head cover, then it may be assumed that the person involved is working without due diligence!
They and the Catering business may be liable if hair is found in food they have prepared. However, it may be difficult to prove whose hair has been found!
Ensure everyone understands the meaning of due diligence and also the consequences of not wearing the correct protective clothing.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes and have a healthy Christmas!
