What affects the price in Beacon's Bottom
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
