Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
