Example article for client review.

1. Your date and location

Include the event date and venue or town. If either is still to be confirmed, explain what you are considering so availability can be discussed.

2. The occasion and guest numbers

Tell us what you are celebrating or arranging, and roughly how many people you expect. An estimate is useful at the enquiry stage; let the team know it may change.

3. Your preferred food and service

Perhaps you have a menu in mind, or perhaps you are choosing between a buffet and a sit-down meal. Share your preferences and any ideas you would like to explore.

4. Dietary requirements to discuss

Raise dietary requirements and allergies with the team early. The options and any limitations should be discussed before booking; you do not need to include sensitive details about individual guests in an online enquiry.

5. Budget and timings

A rough budget and serving time help frame the conversation. Include any venue access details you already know, then use the first discussion to fill in the gaps.
