Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
