Dear Group
Leader,
We would like
to thank you in advance for your work involved with putting a group tour
together, you have taken on the responsibility of pleasing each and
every member of your group, which we recognize is not always an easy
task. For our part we will
make every effort to simplify our process and accommodate your folks, we
want every one to have an enjoyable and memorable experience at
Solomon’s Castle!
Please, remind your group to enjoy our nature
walk and gift shops.
Listed below are the criteria to qualify for Group Rates. The prices listed include your entire visit,…a humorous guided
tour of Solomon’s Castle, and a delightful inclusive meal at the Boat in the Moat Restaurant.
v
A group consists of 20 or
more.
v
Reserve date and
time on our calendar.
Group tours start at 10:00 am, one hour earlier than the general
public tours. This allows your
group to have an ‘appointment’ for their tour.
It also seats them in the restaurant for lunch at 11:00, (much later
than 11:00 and we can not always guarantee ‘on demand’ seating).
We try to maintain this schedule, however if groups arrive late, we
just have to work everyone through to the best of our ability.
Groups are still more than welcome from 11:00 – 4:00 and will be
worked in with the general public on a first come first serve basis.
You will still need to follow the group criteria.
We will do our best to seat your guests together and as quickly as
possible, please ask your guests for a little extra patience during these
times and remind them…“Hey, relax, this is a day out, what’s your hurry!”
v
Choose one price for your entire
group. Meals within one price
range are of equal value, portions are generous and we have tried to balance
selections so there is ‘something for every one’.
All costs associated with your tour & meal; entrée, accompanying
sides, beverage, dessert, tax and gratuity are included.
Beverage choices are Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Coffee, & Tea.
Dessert is chef’s choice, but typically is Homemade Banana Pudding –
a BIG hit!
v
Pre-order. We need
to have a count of entrée selections, only the entrees.
Example 6-tacos, 8 pot pies, 2 turkey & bacon, 14 chefs, etc.
We suggest, while your guests sign up and/or pay you for their trip,
is also a good time to let them select their entrée from a master list.
Compile this information from the master list and call in your
pre-order 2-3 days ahead.
v
Each guest must have an entrée card.
From your master list please, make a simple card for your guests to
lay on the table in front of them with just their entrée choice written.
Entrée cards serve many purposes.
They ensure the guests won’t forget a choice they may have made weeks
in advance. The card also, acts
as a prompt for our
waitress to ask appropriate questions; dressing choice if the guest ordered
a salad, side dish if the guest ordered a sandwich, etc.
Entrée
cards are essential to our professionalism, and allow for smooth service of
your guests.
It is a good idea to hand out entrée cards out on the bus or for
carpoolers, in the parking lot.
v
Pay with one transaction for
entire group, cash, personal or business check are acceptable.
Sorry, we do not accept credit cards or debit cards.
v
Our ‘busy’ time is mid-January thru mid-April from 10:00 am – 2:00
pm. We can be much more flexible
in “off” months and any evening.
We also stay open late for groups of 30 or more.
Late afternoon and
evenings are great times for groups.
v
Included is a confirmation, please fill in your information and
return by mail or fax. Your date
is not confirmed until you & we have signed and returned your confirmation.
