Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
