Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
