West Midlands / BEFORE YOU ASK
This is the West Midlands ceremonial-county guide, distinct from the much wider region. Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the Black Country sit within that county setting; the actual locality and venue arrangements determine the catering plan.
Say whether the event is in Birmingham, Coventry, Solihull or a Black Country locality. Avoid substituting the regional label for an address; a caterer still needs to assess the actual journey and the venue’s private delivery instructions.
For a work event or larger building, establish who can confirm unloading, lifts and preparation rooms. Ask about any venue-specific requirements directly, and pass confirmed instructions to your chosen caterer rather than guessing restrictions from the city location.
If a day includes several sessions, state the guest numbers and length of each break. Ask how portions will be served within that window and whether replenishment, drinks and clearing require staff to remain between meal times.
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.

No. This page follows the ceremonial county; the region includes other county sections such as Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire. Choose the page matching your actual venue locality, then describe the event consistently when asking suppliers about travel and service.
