Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
