    Hi, we are having roast beef too! For 3 courses we are paying the hotel £25/head so £20 for 2 courses sounds reasonable.

    we're paying about £25 per head for what is really 4 courses plus coffee's and doesn't include alcohol. I seem to have found a rare beast - a person who's doing something for the wedding who doesn't want to fleece me. We're very pleased with that quote - less than my parents paid for my sisters wedding 12 years ago

    That old "if you you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" line is not very MSE:rolleyes:

    its not but if your worried that its to expensie then perhaps it is im only suggesting she look elsewhere I think you would be better of haggling try other companies etc and see if you can get it down

  • £20 per head is great! We're paying £31.75 for a carvery (three different meats), dessert, cheese and biscuits and coffee and chocs. Drinks are on top of that. I thought that was pretty good.

    Well I rang another caterer yesterday who said £18 per head, so it's about average I think. Going to stick with it anyway, I've sent all the menus out!
