What affects the price in Hempton
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
