Alloa / BEFORE YOU ASK
Old Alloa’s conservation area includes Alloa Tower and the Kilncraigs surroundings, then extends along Lime Tree Walk towards the Forth and former harbour. This creates a useful distinction between a historic-building event and a gathering with an outdoor or riverside element.
If your chosen venue is in the older part of Alloa, ask where food may be prepared, held and served. Confirm the equipment route and usable kitchen with its organiser rather than inferring facilities or outside-catering permission from the character of the building.
If guests explore towards Lime Tree Walk or the former harbour, give them a clear return point for food. Tell the caterer whether a staffed buffet should remain open for staggered arrivals or whether everyone will sit down together.
For a community celebration, establish when the room can be opened, laid out and restored afterwards. Compare food, staff, tables, washing-up and collection on the same basis; a delivery of platters creates different host responsibilities from a team staying through service.
Give the date, approximate guests, total budget, venue type and service window. Keep names, contact details, exact private addresses and named health information out of the shared brief.
