How it runs
From enquiry to venue handover
The same eight steps every time, so you always know what is owed and by whom. On the day itself the team is on site well before guests are: four hours on site before service, and six hours for a full wedding spread.
1 · Enquiry
Date, venue and guest count. Nothing else is needed to start.
2 · Written quote
A per-plate quote in writing the same day, itemised by function and counter.
3 · Tasting
Arranged for confirmed enquiries. Spice levels and the dish list are locked here.
4 · Booking
An advance holds the date. The menu can still move; the date cannot be double-sold.
5 · Venue recce
Power, gas permissions, lift and load-in access, and the counter layout plan.
6 · Load-in
Four hours on site before service for a buffet, six hours for a full wedding spread.
7 · Service
One steward per 25 guests on a buffet, one steward per 12 guests when plated, with a named supervisor throughout.
8 · Clearance
Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover before the team leaves.

FAQs
Townhall Catering questions
Can you serve the whole company in one sitting?
Yes — it is a layout and staffing exercise: one live counter per 75 guests, placed so the crowd spreads through the room instead of queuing at one station.
Can service run around a fixed agenda rather than a fixed meal time?
Yes. We time the buffet or tea-break service to open and pause around your run-of-show, not the clock.
How far ahead should we book?
Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Outside that, two to three weeks is usually comfortable, and short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity.
Can we taste the menu before we confirm?
Yes. We arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries, and the final dish list, spice levels and sweetness are locked after it rather than before. Sharing the date, venue and guest count gets you a written per-plate quote the same day.
Plan your townhall menu with us
Tastings before booking, live counters at your venue, and one supervisor with you all evening.
