Argyll and Bute / BEFORE YOU ASK
Argyll and Bute brings together west-coast peninsulas, lochs, mainland towns and islands. Oban, Cowal and the islands are not interchangeable destinations, even when they share the same broad area label.
Do not stop at Argyll and Bute when describing your event. State the locality and whether any part of the supplier’s proposed journey depends on a crossing. Ask the supplier to confirm its own route and transport arrangements before accepting a quote.
For a distant or island venue, request a breakdown that covers staff travel, any agreed accommodation, equipment movement and return collection. A price for the food alone will not explain how the full event will be delivered.
If the venue has limited facilities, discuss a menu that can be finished safely with the available equipment. Confirm food storage and washing facilities with the caterer, and agree who removes waste and hired items after guests leave.
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.
