How much is too much for a bacon butty??

I don't know if that is a normal price as we haven't been looking at venue packages, but it sounds very very expensive to me for a bacon roll!

For our evening guests a friend of a friend (semi-pro caterer) is doing us a buffet, 20 different items including meat, sandwiches, crisps etc for £5 per head which is a bargain. If you are allowed to cater yourselves or use someone outside it might be worth shopping around.

Hahahahahahaha. No chance.

Cheese is a great option in the evening, along with wedding cake. That's what I'm serving my guests now. They also are all day, no evening extras. I think you need to have something, as some people will want it and most people like cheese!

You could always have a pork pie wedding cake at night.

That seems very expensive for a bacon roll!? Will they move on the price? X

Or pork pie and cheese. I'm quite liking this idea for myself lol

Wow, that is a silly price!!! It would probably be cheaper to hire in someone to do a hog roast for the evening munchies! Other than that, cheese and nibbles is a good idea with the cake I think that would be enough after a big meal

This is genius, may have to steal the idea. Also this thread is really making me want a bacon butty!

We had the same dilemma except we're having about 30 extra guests for the evening. Yes I'd love to give them food but I don't think it's the end of te world if they don't get fed proper food. We're also having a cake and a cheese cake with crackers etc. so people can eat that. If they get truly hungry they can always pop downstairs to the pub and order something! I can't believe the cost of canapés (for after ceremony) - we're spending about £8.50 per head on 3 canapés! Weddings!

MOH would say a good, crispy, bacon butty is priceless! However, I suspect even he would not pay this much for one.

Hi All

Was away for along weekend and couldn't work out how to sign in on my phone!

You'll be relieved to hear that I managed to negotiate the price down to £4 per head!!! Apparently they had quoted for 2.5 rolls per person (who eats 2.5 rolls - surely you would either have 2 or 3???). Seeing as we're only going to finish eating at around 6.30pm and we'll have wedding cake and cheese (think I will do crackers and chutney as well) then I asked them to quote for 1 bacon roll per person.

I'm a lot happier paying £4 than £6.95, thank's to all you hitchers who gave me the courage to negotiate!!!

So glad you managed to sort out a more reasonable price! I would have commented earlier but I was busy eating as many bacon butties as I could for fear the price of bacon was going up so much I might never be able to afford it again ?

M hotel charges 11.50 pp for bacon or sausage baps plus chips - with 9.50pp for canapés plus a 3 course meal at 30something pp it's loads on food!

Interesting to see you got them to lower the price - was this a hotel or a caterer? I really would like to see if I could lower somewhere eg less canapes pp or less bacon rolls as it does seem they charge a fortune!!!
