Peterborough & surrounding areas

Local events.
Individual plans.

Tell us where your event is taking place so date availability, travel and venue arrangements can be checked.

The location is part of the plan.

Peterborough city venues, suburban gardens and rural event spaces each bring different practical questions.

For venues around the city centre, include unloading instructions, parking restrictions and setup times. For garden events around areas such as Hampton, Orton, Werrington or Longthorpe, tell us about gates, steps, parking and the route to the serving space.

For events around the Deepings, Stamford, Bourne, Whittlesey and the surrounding villages, send the venue name or general area with your enquiry so travel and access can be assessed. Coverage and a date are confirmed individually; appearing in this guide is not a promise of availability.

An outdoor catering table prepared beside a lawn

Three venue situations to think through.

A venue with outside catering

Ask which cooking methods are allowed and where caterers can set up. Share the approved unloading and serving areas before finalising food plans.

A garden or private property

Check the access route and available space. Agree utilities and a suitable cooking area, with a weather plan for the serving space.

A workplace or managed site

Include security rules, induction requirements and the times different groups need to eat. Confirm any documents the site manager needs.

Confirm the venue arrangements.

Ask the venue who approves outside caterers and where cooking is permitted. Share the venue’s supplier instructions, access times and utility arrangements with your event brief so the catering plan can be reviewed for that location.
