Cardiff / A PLACE TO START
Choose a starting style. Add the date, guests and details on the next screen before sending.
Cardiff / BEFORE YOU ASK
Cardiff brings together its city-centre castle and arcades, museums, performance venues and the separate waterfront setting of Cardiff Bay. A good area brief explains where the meal happens and how it fits any cultural, sporting or business programme.
Name the general event locality and venue type before comparing menus. If guests move between Cardiff Bay and the centre, make the catering service point explicit and give the organiser responsibility for coordinating guest transfers.
For a meeting, performance visit or sporting celebration, list the start and finish of each food break. Ask whether a served meal, buffet or handheld format fits the time available, including the time guests need to reach the food.
Once the venue is chosen, confirm the actual unloading entrance, lift access and setup window with its team. Include those arrangements in the supplier discussion instead of assuming that guest entrance directions also work for catering equipment.
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.

YOUR LOCAL PLAN / YOUR NEXT QUESTIONS
Practical answers for your event in Cardiff.
Name the event area, the venue type and guest numbers for each break. Add the agenda and service deadlines, then privately agree building access and any purchasing requirements with the supplier and venue. A city location alone does not reserve a caterer.
Ask the supplier to confirm your venue, date, menu and service plan. This guide does not show live availability; suitable replies are not guaranteed.
Agree the booking, contract and payments directly with your chosen caterer. Workavelle takes no catering deposits and does not provide catering payment protection.
