What Affects the Cost?

Key factors affecting mobile catering costs in Horsham include guest count, menu selection (budget-friendly to premium), dietary requirements, setup and service duration, travel distance within West Sussex, and whether additional staffing or equipment hire is needed. Seasonal events, weekend bookings, and menu speciality (vegan, gluten-free, ethnic cuisines) may incur higher charges. Location accessibility and parking availability can also influence final pricing.

Money-Saving Tips

Book mid-week or off-season for better rates. Choose simpler menu options like BBQ or street food over multi-course catering. Bundle services (food + drinks) with one caterer for package discounts. Request quotes from multiple local providers via BizHub365 to compare value and negotiate pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a typical mobile catering quote in Horsham?

Most quotes cover food preparation, serving equipment, basic staff, and setup/breakdown. Confirm whether service staff, branded tableware, and bar service are included or charged separately. Travel costs may apply beyond a 10-mile radius.

Are there extra charges for dietary requirements or allergies?

Yes, typically £5–£15 per head extra for specialist menus (vegan, gluten-free, kosher). Always declare dietary needs upfront to ensure safe handling and accurate costing.

Can I reduce costs by providing my own drinks or equipment?

Possibly. Many caterers offer discounts if you supply your own alcohol, though some charge a corking fee (£1–£3 per bottle). Discuss this directly when requesting quotes.

Most caterers set a minimum around £150–£200 for small events to cover fuel and staffing. Larger bookings (50+ guests) offer better per-head rates, typically £8–£15 per person.
