What affects the price in Sutton Abinger
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
