Identify the building within the historic area
If guests use Cathedral Close as a reference point, provide the actual room and entrance as well. Ask the host which door and preparation space an external catering team may use.

Salisbury / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Visit Bath's Salisbury guide describes a compact centre with half-timbered buildings, a market, Cathedral Close museums and nearby water meadows. Use the exact venue to resolve access and service rather than relying on that broad setting.
Allow for a heritage or walking programme
If your guests explore museums or water meadows before eating, set a meeting point and return window. Check that the chosen guest route suits the group before fixing the food start time.
Confirm access for your chosen date
For a central property near market streets, ask the venue about delivery arrangements on the event day. Include any carrying distances, steps or shared spaces in the supplier brief.
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.
