Stockport / BEFORE YOU ASK
The council describes Market Place and Underbanks as the historic core, with St Petersgate Bridge and Turner’s Steps connecting different street levels. A map that places venues close together may therefore hide an important equipment or guest-access question.
For a central meal, ask the host which entrance reaches the booked room and whether the proposed route involves steps. Do not infer a level equipment route from a short walk between Market Place and Underbanks.
If guests explore the historic streets before eating, give their regrouping point and meal window. The caterer can set up through a separately agreed receiving entrance while the group follows its own visitor route.
For a function in an older town-centre property, confirm which space is available for preparation, serving and clearing. Ask the supplier to explain whether platters arrive ready to lay out or need finishing on site before guests return.
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.

YOUR LOCAL PLAN / YOUR NEXT QUESTIONS
Practical answers for your event in Stockport.
Market Place and Underbanks have links across different levels, including Turner’s Steps and St Petersgate Bridge. Check the actual route with the venue for guests and equipment; proximity on a map does not establish a usable carrying route.
Ask the supplier to confirm your venue, date, menu and service plan. This guide does not show live availability; suitable replies are not guaranteed.
Agree the booking, contract and payments directly with your chosen caterer. Workavelle takes no catering deposits and does not provide catering payment protection.
