- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
