Choose a starting style. Add the date, guests and details on the next screen before sending.

Ely / BEFORE YOU ASK

A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.

Visit Ely places the small city above the Cambridgeshire Fens and describes its monastic buildings, independent centre and riverside. A centre-based event and an outdoor waterside plan need separate details.

Name the room within the historic setting

If the venue is in an older building, ask which entrance, stairs and preparation area the caterer will use. Confirm the room directly with the venue and your chosen supplier rather than relying on a nearby landmark.

Join the riverside and city-centre timetable

If guests spend time at the riverside before eating, tell them where and when to regroup. Allow for the transition before setting a single hot-food service time.

Check facilities for a Fenland venue

If you choose a property beyond the centre, describe its locality, postcode district and kitchen facilities in the shared brief. Send the exact private address directly to your chosen supplier. Ask suppliers to confirm equipment, travel and any covered working space needed.

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.
