Woking / BEFORE YOU ASK
The Lightbox is on Chobham Road in Woking, with a canal-side courtyard and gallery spaces overlooking the water. The Basingstoke Canal also forms part of Surrey’s wider waterway network, so a canalside description needs a definite Woking meeting point.
If the Lightbox forms part of the day, check the operator’s latest visit information before issuing guest directions. Give the caterer the separately confirmed meal entrance; public courtyard arrangements and an equipment receiving point need not be the same.
If guests walk beside the Basingstoke Canal before eating, identify where they leave the walk for the booked meal. A towpath meeting point does not establish a place to cook, set out tables or leave serving equipment.
For a group viewing exhibitions before a reception, discuss arrival refreshments and the time of the main service. Confirm the actual room and catering arrangements with its operator, whether it is at the gallery or another venue in town.
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.

No. Name the actual venue or general meal area and distinguish any gallery or canal activity. Use the operator’s current directions for visitors, then agree the detailed food-delivery route privately with your chosen supplier.
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.
