Roughly how much will I need?
A rough guide only. We suggest 5 savoury items per person: 2 sandwiches plus one portion from each other savoury platter you choose. Sweet items are 1 per guest. We'll confirm quantities and the final price when you order. Sausage rolls, wraps, fruit, scones and pork pies are priced on request, so they're not included here.
