Surrey / BEFORE YOU ASK
Surrey’s destinations range from towns such as Guildford and Dorking to the Surrey Hills and countryside villages. A town venue and a home or rural gathering can have very different working space, even when the menu and guest count sound alike.
For a home or countryside venue, explain steps, gates and the carrying route once you speak privately with a supplier. In a town building, confirm the actual delivery entrance and which room or kitchen the caterer can use.
A Surrey Hills backdrop does not provide kitchen facilities. Discuss cover, power, drinking water and a suitable preparation area with the venue and supplier, and decide how the meal would move indoors or under shelter if needed.
For a smaller dinner or family occasion, ask whether the proposal covers cooking only or includes serving and washing up. List crockery, glassware and linen responsibilities so you know what still needs arranging before the day.
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.
