What food options do you offer?

While food isn’t the be-all and end-all at a work event, you still want your guests to enjoy the food and drink, especially if you are paying for catering as part of the day. Ask about the food and drinks on offer ahead of time. The venue might have a selling point, such as personalised drinks for your group or locally sourced ingredients.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

With so many people requiring special diets for allergies or intolerances, it is wise to check whether your venue can cater for special dietary requirements before placing your booking and paying a deposit. Most food venues will have gluten-free and vegan options; however, you may need to specify whether your guests have any other allergens, as this may require more preparation.

Many hotel conference venues, such as https://tewkesburypark.co.uk/business/, offer a wide range of food options and accommodation for business events.

What is the service like?

Would you prefer to have plated meals or more of a food station setup? Find out which service styles are available for your number of guests and plan how your event flows.

What experience do you have with conferences?

If your venue isn’t primarily a conference venue, you are well within your rights to ask for more information about its experience catering for conference-style events.

Asking these questions should ensure your event goes smoothly.
