The guides
01
Group planning
Plan a group evening without endless messages
Agree on a few essentials before looking for a venue.
02
Outdoor settings
Outdoor seating: questions worth asking
Shade, shelter and access can matter more than a venue’s most attractive photograph.
03
Budget
Split a bill clearly and fairly
Decide whether the group wants equal shares or separate orders before the bill arrives.
04
Hospitality
Make room for alcohol-free choices
A group plan should work for guests with different preferences.
05
Menu planning
Read menu prices before ordering for a group
Check portions, inclusions and extra charges rather than guessing the final bill.
06
Reservations
Write a useful enquiry to a venue
A concise request makes it easier to receive a comparable answer.
