Make the brief specific
Ask for a complete proposed menu and the ingredients in sauces, breads and desserts. Plant-based does not mean free of allergens; discuss individual requirements and preparation separately.
A starting point for your menu
A colourful sharing table, vegetable-led plated courses, or a plant-based street-food reception.
Make space for every guest
List dietary requirements separately from cuisine preferences. Ask the caterer about ingredients, preparation and cross-contact before confirming any menu. A cuisine label is not an allergy, halal or kosher assurance.
Compare the whole service
Ask what the quote includes: food, staff, setup, rentals, travel, service duration and cleanup. Confirm the guest-count deadline and what happens if plans change.
