Begin with the occasion
A quick working lunch needs a different rhythm from a team celebration. Confirm how long people have, where they will sit and whether they need to eat while participating.
More care. More character.
Make dietary planning part of the brief
Ask about allergies and dietary requirements early. Clear information gives everyone time to discuss suitable options and any preparation limitations.
Give serving a little thought
Consider where the food arrives, how it is labelled and how people move around the table. A simple serving plan often matters as much as the selection.
A useful starting checklist.
- Confirm guest numbers.
- Share the session timetable.
- Check food access and serving space.
