What affects the price in Norton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
