Private dining works best when practical details are sorted early. The venue should understand your group before recommending menus or minimum spend.
How many guests are seated and standing?
Guest count changes everything: staffing, service speed, menu style, cloakroom space and whether speeches are comfortable.
What are the dietary requirements?
Ask how the venue handles allergens, vegan dishes, gluten-free options and cross-contamination risk. Written notes are better than memory.
What is included in the quote?
Confirm room hire, minimum spend, service charge, arrival drinks, canapes, VAT, payment deadlines and cancellation terms.
