Use a precise venue address
If guests know the castle or cathedral as a landmark, still give them the correct venue entrance. Share exact private addresses and the unloading contact directly with your chosen caterer.

Carlisle / A PLACE TO START
What would you
like to serve?
Choose a starting style. Add the date, guests and details on the next screen before sending.
Carlisle / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Discover Carlisle presents a historic border city with its castle, cathedral and other heritage sites in or near the centre. Those landmarks help orient guests but do not identify your catering entrance.
Link heritage visits to the meal
For a group combining a visit with a reception, set a regrouping time before service. Decide whether late arrivals can join a replenished buffet or whether the whole group needs to sit together.
Clarify city and wider-area journeys
If the event moves from the centre to another venue, list both locations. Ask each supplier to confirm the journey and setup window in their quote rather than assuming every Carlisle address works alike.
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.
