How this calculator works
Base per-head is our published tier price. Service multipliers are the industry average uplift for staffed buffet (×1.2) and full plated silver service (×1.55). Staffing is calculated at ~1 server per 25 buffet guests and ~1 per 12 plated guests, at typical UK 2026 event-staff rates. Delivery bands mirror our Richmond → national delivery grid.
