The Bootstrap grid layout has 12 columns:
Grid system · Bootstrap v4.5[^]

You have specified that you want the label to take up 2 columns, and each of the checkboxes to take up 2 columns. That means all three will fit on a single row, taking up half the width of the container.

You'll also want to use the correct Bootstrap markup for your checkboxes:
Forms · Bootstrap v4.5[^]

Try something like this:

Razor

<div class="form-group row">
    <label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Dietary requirements:</label>
    <div class="col-sm">
        <div class="form-check">
            @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.DietMain.None, new { @class = "form-check-input" })
            <label class="form-check-label" for="@Html.IdFor(m => m.DietMain.None)">None</label>
        </div>
        <div class="form-check">
            @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.DietMain.Halaal, new { @class = "form-check-input" })
            <label class="form-check-label" for="@Html.IdFor(m => m.DietMain.Halaal)">None</label>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

NB: Based on the provided options, they appear to be exclusive - it wouldn't make sense to select both "none" and "halaal". If the user can only select one option, it would make more sense to use a radio-button list instead.
