Ards and North Down / BEFORE YOU ASK
Ards and North Down’s official guide links Bangor and its coastal setting with Newtownards, towns and villages, water activities and food experiences across the area. A catering request should distinguish the actual place people will eat from the wider itinerary.
Use Bangor, Newtownards or another event locality in the initial brief. If the day includes a coastal visit or boat activity, make clear whether food is served at a separate venue afterwards and which part of the programme needs catering.
For a daytime family gathering, ask who provides hot water, cups, stands and serving tables. Delivery boxes and a staffed afternoon tea are different arrangements, so compare the format as well as the food.
If a reception uses a garden or waterside space, agree shelter, an alternative layout and equipment access with the host. Ask how the supplier stores and replenishes food and who handles clearing when guests move back indoors.
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.
