Three parts to the bill

The main meal is the largest part. A drinks package covers wine with the meal, the toast and a bar tab. Evening food, such as a hog roast or a pizza van, keeps the dance floor busy.

Ask for each part priced on its own so you can see where to cut.

Venue caterer or your own

Hotels and estates around Harrogate often require their own caterer. Barns, halls and farm venues usually let you choose, and local caterers in the dales bring everything.

Check for a minimum number of guests, and ask about children's meals at a lower price.

Ways to trim

Sharing platters, a buffet or a carvery cost less than a plated three-course meal. Ask about corkage if you supply your own drinks. Figures are a guide, so request menus and prices.
