Confirm the date, opening hours, kitchen times, bookings and any private events with the venue.
Access and policies
Ask directly about step-free access, toilets, dogs, children or group policies where they affect the visit.
Travel and alternatives
Check current transport, keep a nearby fallback and make the return journey part of the plan.
