Check access around the central streets
If the venue is near the market area, ask the host about arrival arrangements for your date. Give the caterer the delivery entrance, room and setup window rather than only a nearby landmark.

St Albans / 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.
St Albans / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Visit Herts describes St Albans' central cathedral, museum and market streets, with Verulamium Park and Roman heritage close to the centre. Your booked room and the public visitor setting are separate arrangements.
Allow for the return from Verulamium
If guests explore the park or Roman heritage first, choose a clear meeting point and leave time to regroup. Tell suppliers whether refreshments begin on arrival or wait for the full party.
Match food service to the room
For a historic building or park-side venue, confirm preparation space, serving tables and clearing routes. Ask where guests and food move if an outdoor part of the booking cannot be used.
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.
