Words to take to your supplier

Pie and coffee as an evening gathering
Pies and a coffee service create a home-style dessert moment that looks and runs differently from a tiered cake display.

What I want to borrow: Choose this direction if sharing familiar desserts fits your gathering. A staffed slicing point and a nearby drinks service can become a quieter evening destination.
Adaptation to discuss: Ask the caterer to plan slicing, holding, hot-drink service and ingredient information. Offer a non-coffee choice and arrange seats nearby for guests who want to pause.

Questions for our supplier:
• Who will slice, plate and replenish?
• How will hot drinks be served and used cups cleared?
• Which desserts and alternatives suit the guest requirements?

Scope to confirm: A pie-and-coffee station with specified portions, drinks service and crockery.
Responsible people: Baker and venue service lead; name who accepts, stores, cuts and serves it.
Before confirming: Confirm allergen information and separate utensils with catering; plan hot-drink handling and replenishment.
Working example (replace with actuals): Write the agreed portion total and service sequence beside the final design; the baker confirms portions, storage and delivery requirements.
