- Is there a corkage charge if we bring our own wine?
- Do you charge for cutting and serving the cake?
- Is there a charge for travel?
- Does the venue charge outside caterers a fee? (Ask the venue too.)
- What's the deposit, and when are the other payments due?
Questions
What should a wedding catering quote include?
At minimum: the food, the chefs and waiting staff, crockery and linen (or who supplies them), VAT, travel, and every extra such as canapés, drinks service and cake cutting, each priced.
Do caterers charge VAT on weddings?
Caterers who are VAT registered have to add 20%, and some quote without it. I'm not VAT registered, so there's no VAT to add to my prices.
