Derry City and Strabane / BEFORE YOU ASK
The official visitor guide links the Walled City with Strabane and the Sperrins beyond it. That makes it useful to distinguish an urban reception from a countryside or town gathering elsewhere in the council area before comparing catering proposals.
Use Derry, Strabane or the relevant rural locality in the brief. Explain the venue type and the part of the event needing food so a supplier does not assume every request under this area label is in the city centre.
If guests combine a city visit or countryside outing with food, give the caterer the agreed meal meeting point and arrival range. Choose a service format that fits the group and name who will communicate any change to the itinerary.
For a reception or community occasion, explain whether people sit, stand or move between spaces. Ask the host and supplier to agree access, serving tables and clearing, including when any hired equipment can leave after 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.
