Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
