City of London catering needs a clear brief for the meeting agenda, guest count and building access. Discuss a working lunch, hosted client event or recurring office service across EC1–EC4.
Planning your City office catering brief
Plan the handover from loading bay to meeting floor
For an EC1–EC4 office, give the actual delivery entrance, reception contact, floor and goods-lift rules. State whether the building requires a booking reference, vehicle details or supplier registration. Access approvals belong in the agreed brief rather than being left until food arrives.
Separate meeting hospitality from staff meals
A partner meeting, an anchor-day team lunch and a recurring staff service have different attendance and presentation needs. Explain who is eating, where food can be set out and when the room is available. The quote should identify delivery-only or attended service and any collection requirement.
Scope a recurring City account with procurement
For weekly or daily catering, provide attendance by day, dietary categories and purchasing requirements. Discuss an initial service, feedback and a review point without assuming a free trial or fixed contract term. Agree pricing, order changes and invoice arrangements before repeat deliveries.
