Stonehaven / BEFORE YOU ASK
Stonehaven’s old harbour setting and the nearby cliff-top ruins of Dunnottar Castle make the town distinctive. A coastal walk, a castle visit and an indoor reception are different parts of a day, so the food plan should connect them without depending on ideal conditions.
If the group visits the castle or follows a coastal walk, agree when everyone is expected back at the booked venue. Ask the caterer about a flexible welcome snack or staged service rather than holding a full hot meal for an uncertain arrival.
For a waterfront celebration, ask the venue where food can be protected and what indoor alternative is available. Describe the setting publicly at town level; privately agree the actual unloading point and carrying route instead of relying on the view shown in a photograph.
If seafood inspires your menu, ask the supplier what can be sourced for the date and what alternatives suit guests who prefer something else. Discuss chilling, portions and serving staff with the same care as the main dish, particularly for food displayed before service.
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.
