Alnwick / BEFORE YOU ASK
Visit Northumberland describes Alnwick's winding cobbled streets, castle and gardens, with Bondgate Tower and cultural buildings among its town landmarks. Visitor attractions have their own operating arrangements, separate from your catering booking.
If the programme includes the castle or gardens, check that attraction's current opening arrangements for your date. Keep the meal location separate and allow time for the group to regroup before eating.
For a venue on older central streets, ask the host about cobbles, steps and the equipment entrance. Confirm private delivery details directly with your chosen supplier instead of passing on sightseeing directions.
If a venue garden or courtyard is included, agree the booked area, shelter and indoor alternative. Ask where food can be prepared and cleared rather than assuming that nearby visitor gardens provide working facilities.
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.
