- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
