Ask how the group will be accommodated
Confirm whether the group will sit together and whether the space is private or shared. Ask about accessibility and the timing of courses. Mention cakes, decorations or entertainment before assuming they are permitted, particularly if the restaurant serves other customers at the same time.
Keep the booking conditions together
Record deposits, final-number deadlines, menu choices and cancellation terms. Check drinks, service charges and any minimum spend. Ask how dietary requirements should be supplied and make one person responsible for communicating confirmed details to both guests and the venue.
