What affects the price in Hyde Park Estate
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
