Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
