Mid and East Antrim / BEFORE YOU ASK
The borough’s official guide distinguishes Ballymena, Carrickfergus and Larne, plus coastal communities including Whitehead, Islandmagee, Glenarm and Carnlough. The Causeway Coastal Route is useful wider context, but the catering brief still needs one actual food-service point.
If the event accompanies a coastal trip, name where guests will stop to eat rather than listing the route alone. Tell suppliers whether food is needed at one venue or at separately arranged stages, with guest numbers for each.
For an outdoor gathering, ask the host about usable surfaces, shelter and any restrictions on cooking equipment. Confirm the supplier’s working space and queue arrangement before choosing a mobile kitchen, BBQ or buffet format.
For a Ballymena workplace or a Carrickfergus reception, give the access window, room layout and time food must be ready. Ask what staff remain on site and how serving equipment and waste are handled afterwards.
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.
