Supporting pack
Banquet and marquee load
For sites that overlay weddings, civic dinners, and outdoor service onto a regular restaurant, we separate the diary so the à la carte pass is not starved on the same afternoon.
Who it is for
Country houses, hotels, and pubs with a marquee or function room that trades beside the dining room.
What you receive
A load sheet for each booked event and a residual forecast for walk-in covers.
Scope
Events already in the diary for the next eight weeks, plus a residual à la carte forecast.
Included
- Separation of guaranteed numbers from historical drop-off
- Kitchen timing notes where the same brigade covers both rooms
- Beverage add-on estimates where the bar is shared
Not included
- Event sales, floor plans, or hire of linen and glassware
How the work runs
Cross office, usually alongside a kitchen demand briefing.
- Diary export
- Menu pack for each event
- Load sheet returned before the next large Saturday
Time: Seven working days if the restaurant briefing is already under way; otherwise ten.
Place: Documents first; a site walk of the marquee and pass where useful.
Please prepare: Function diary with guaranteed numbers and the à la carte extract for the same dates last year.
Limits: We do not invent bookings. Empty Saturdays stay empty in the forecast.
Fees: From £1,400 as a stand-alone pack; lower when added to a briefing.
Tell us the next eight weeks of confirmed events when you write.
