What would you
like to serve?
Choose a starting style. Add the date, guests and details on the next screen before sending.
Harlow / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Harlow is an Essex new town with public sculpture, cultural venues and green spaces including its Town Park.
Put the programme beside the menu
For an arts or community gathering, include performances, speeches and meal breaks. Ask how setup and clearing can happen without competing with the activity guests came to enjoy.
Keep service routes usable
Discuss seating, the buffet position and accessible movement through the space. Confirm the detailed delivery approach privately and ask who supplies tables, equipment and final cleaning.
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.
