West Lothian / BEFORE YOU ASK
West Lothian’s official destination guide brings together the modern centre of Livingston, historic Linlithgow, Bathgate and Broxburn and Uphall. The mix gives organisers several settings, each worth describing directly rather than treating the county name as a complete brief.
Put the town or village in the request and describe whether guests will eat in a workplace, hired room, home or garden. A Livingston meeting and a Linlithgow reception can require very different levels of setup and staffing.
For a team event, give the building’s delivery process and the meal deadlines privately to the chosen supplier. Ask whether food arrives boxed, on shared platters or as a staffed service, and specify guest numbers for each break.
For a family or wedding gathering, check which tables, crockery and kitchen facilities the venue supplies. Ask the caterer to include any missing hire, setup and clearing in the quote, then agree who returns equipment after the occasion.
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.

Name the real town or village instead. Livingston is useful regional context, but the correct locality helps suppliers assess travel and prevents confusion over where the food is needed.
