Confirm the route through the Barbican
For a venue in the older streets, ask which doorway and approach caterers should use. Tell suppliers about steps, narrow passages and carrying distances before agreeing equipment or a service station.

Plymouth / 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.
Plymouth / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Visit Plymouth describes the Barbican's cobbled streets and narrow lanes beside the waterfront setting of Sutton Harbour. Those surroundings make a delivery route and room layout more useful than a general harbour location.
Coordinate a harbour visit with the meal
If guests explore Sutton Harbour before gathering indoors, name a finish point and allow a return window. Ask whether food will begin when the first guests arrive or once everyone is present.
Give waterfront service an indoor version
Where a terrace or courtyard is included, check shelter and the indoor alternative with the host. Confirm access to preparation facilities and how food will move between the kitchen and outside area.
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.
