Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
