This is a paid collaboration with Square Meal.
If you’re anything like me the year is full of events to pencil in, plan and attend. We go from one birthday to another, mixing in celebrations, anniversaries and other parties between. That’s not including date nights with your loved one and life changing stuff like weddings! Where can you find the best venues for your all important bash or annual get together? Let’s take a look.
Important celebrations are all part of life. We love to find new places to eat, based around the Asian inspired food with crave. We also have children though so finding family friendly places is also important. Having a list of pubs, bars, restaurants, party venues and other potential locations makes life interesting. It gives you plenty of options to discuss if it’s an event organised by comity and if your first choice isn’t available to book, you can work through the list. Once you’ve got the venue sorted you’ll also need to think about caterers, hospitality and maybe event team building suppliers. Different occasions need different things.
Let’s say you want to book afternoon tea for your mum’s 70th birthday? Or as a present for someone this Christmas. How can you find the best places, serving incredible food? You know, the establishments with the real wow factor, as that extra special treat? Square Meal brings together all the possibilities on one dedicated section of their website for you to search through. Discover traditional tea houses, themed restaurants and well known celebrity chefs – including folk from The Great British Bake Off, so you know those cakes are going to be delicious!
Search via location, perfect if you’re looking to visit Manchester or Bath, as well as narrow your possible selections by tailoring the experience you are looking for. Some Champagne with your afternoon tea, anyone? What if you need to book a Christmas party in Bristol? How about private dining in Edinburgh? Maybe even a meeting room in the city of London? You’re just a few clicks away!
A huge advantage of this service is that you can find special offers. From festive dining at a fixed price to New Year’s Eve parties with affordable prices per head, you can find exactly what you want and tick that booking off your list. Leaving you to look forward to the food, drink and celebrations. Get points for every booking and use them for luxury experiences and gifts – perfect if you’re booking many events a year!
I think that’s key when organising an event. You can spend so much time messing around – comparing venues, choosing menus and reading reviews – that you don’t actually enjoy the occasion when it rolls around. By making everything easier for yourself in the first instance you can actually find fun in the event. Don’t find yourself in fixation with the ins and outs of organisation, worrying about the starter forks and dessert spoons. No one will remember something which you didn’t include, just the things you did put into place. Memories are made by the people you celebrate with, not the messing about with choices between paper or fabric napkins. Stress less and enjoy more.
