## Catering for a housewarming at home

A new home may not yet be fully unpacked or equipped. Housewarming food needs to suit the space actually available, with a clear handover and a selection that works when guests arrive at different times.

### Plan around the usable kitchen

Check the fridge, workspace, sink and power sockets before choosing hot and cold food. Do not let an unconnected cooker become an unspoken part of the plan; discuss any extra equipment and suitable surfaces explicitly.

### Separate the home tour from serving

Guests may want to see several rooms and arrive at different times. A fixed serving point away from narrow passages and some available seats prevent plates, glasses and visitors all passing through the same doorway.

### Make delivery and the finish precise

Give the staircase, door number, floor and an available handover contact. Plan space for returnable items, packaging and used tableware too; after a move, the space that looked free before the party can quickly disappear.

FOR YOUR PLAN

### Useful details to share.

- Exact address, staircase, door number and floor
- Usable fridge, sink and preparation space

- Serving point, returns area and agreed clearing

### Questions about this occasion

**Can we cater before the kitchen is finished?**

It depends on the available facilities and menu. Discuss missing chilling or hot holding before making the actual plan.

**What suits guests arriving throughout the gathering?**

A clear selection with agreed portions and replenishment can help; appropriate storage and serving times depend on the menu.

**Who handles packaging and tableware?**

Agree this beforehand. Returns, collection and disposal are separate tasks; selecting food does not settle them.
