Words to take to your supplier

A garden lunch made for sharing
Vegetable platters, bread and a grain salad sit between four pale place settings, with separate serving utensils and small flowers at the far end.

What I want to borrow: Choose shared dishes when conversation and a generous table matter more than a formal sequence of individually plated courses.
Adaptation to discuss: Use one substantial shared main with two sides. Keep flowers small and check the table with actual platters before hiring extra decoration.

Questions for our supplier:
• How many guests will each platter serve, and how are second portions handled?
• Which dietary meals need separate preparation and service?
• Who clears the first dishes before the next course arrives?

Scope to confirm: Guest count, table sizes, platter dimensions, menu and any separately served meals.
Responsible people: Caterer owns portions and safe service; venue confirms tables and access; nominate a guest-contact lead.
Before confirming: Lay out one complete table with plates, glasses and empty serving dishes. Reach every dish from a seated position.
Working example (replace with actuals): Illustration only: eight tables with one set of three platters each means 24 serving dishes, before spares and dietary alternatives.
