Check a suitable route between locations
If the day moves between the centre and Quayside, review the route with guests' mobility needs in mind. Ask the venue about alternatives rather than relying on a short walking-distance description.
City GUIDE / England
Catering in
Exeter.
An Exeter food plan should distinguish the city centre from the Quayside and explain how guests and catering equipment will reach the booked space.

Exeter / 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.
Exeter / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Visit Exeter describes a historic Quayside below the centre and notes that connecting footpaths can be steep. Do not use a general walking route as the only access guidance for your event.
Give suppliers their own arrival instructions
For a Quayside venue, confirm the delivery road, entrance and route to the service area. Share any changes of level or carrying distances before the caterer specifies tables and equipment.
Plan waterside service with an indoor option
If a terrace is included, agree shelter and where food moves indoors if necessary. Keep the catering plan within the space booked with the host and confirm preparation facilities separately.
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.

How this guide is prepared
