What affects the price in Seaton
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
