Catering calculators

Three quick calculators for planning an event before you ring a caterer.

Work out what catering costs for your guest count, by type of catering, using the same per-head ranges as the cost guides on this site.

How big a pig you need for your guest count, served in rolls or plated, with a margin for appetites and seconds. A rule of thumb, not a quote.

How much buffet food, canapés and sandwiches to order per guest, adjusted for the time of day and whether it is the main meal or a top-up.
