Here are some documents which have been produced by one Church (St Cuthbert's, Carlisle) which might be another place to start.  There are four documents:  two covering letters, a 'policy' relating to those just making tea/coffee and biscuits, and a 'policy' relating to those making more elaborate meals on the premises or at home.
