Cambridge / BEFORE YOU ASK

A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.

Visit Cambridge describes a tightly packed centre with colleges and cobbled streets, alongside the Backs and River Cam. The exact site matters more than a general college or riverside description.

Name the entrance and the room

If you are using a college or another multi-building site, confirm the room, gate and onsite contact privately with your chosen supplier. Ask which route catering staff may use rather than sending them the visitor entrance automatically.

Check equipment movement over the route

Where the approach includes cobbles or older buildings, ask the venue about steps, surfaces and trolley access. Share the route with the caterer before agreeing equipment or a large serving station.

Join river activities to service times

If guests spend time on the Cam or around the Backs before eating, allow a separate return and regrouping window. Decide who confirms numbers in the room before hot food is served.

The same event, clearly described.

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.
