Wedding Catering Costs in the UK – What to Expect

The cost of wedding catering in the UK can vary significantly depending on several key factors, including the type of catering service, the number of guests, the menu selection, and whether drinks are included.

Understanding these variables will help you plan your budget effectively and choose the catering style that best suits your wedding vision.

Below are general price ranges per person for the most common wedding catering options:

• Buffet-style catering: £15–£50 per person

• Cocktail and canapé catering: £10–£40 per person

• Food truck or street food catering: £10–£20 per person

Food truck and street food catering has become increasingly popular for modern weddings, offering flexibility, faster service, and excellent value for money.

Additional Factors That Affect Wedding Catering Costs

Beyond food prices, several additional elements can influence the final cost of wedding catering:

• Venue rental fees

• Staffing and service charges

• Equipment hire (tables, chairs, linens, plates, and glassware)

• Beverage packages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options)
