Compare pizza catering quotations fairly
Two prices are only comparable when you understand the food, service and event arrangements behind each one.
Give each proposal the same brief
Use the same date, venue, expected eaters, meal role and desired service time when seeking a quote. Explain access restrictions and other catering. If one proposal is based on an evening snack and another on the main meal, the headline prices do not describe the same request. Keep estimated details marked as provisional.
Compare what guests receive
Look for the agreed menu, food quantity and serving period. Ask how the proposed provision relates to your guest number. Check whether sides, desserts or drinks are included or optional. The service finishes when the agreed quantity has been served or the agreed period ends, whichever happens first; unlimited food should not be inferred from a duration.
Compare how the service is delivered
Review the format, staffing, travel, setup and any utilities or extras in the quote. A bus needs its own proposal and is not priced by a horsebox guide. Where a venue requirement is unresolved, ask for clarification before treating the figure as a complete answer. Check what the booking documents say about payment, changes and cancellation rather than assuming standard terms.
Use the published guide in its proper scope
The £700–£2,000+ horsebox and street-food guide is for typical weddings of 70–110 guests. It is not a fixed pizza package, per-head rate, universal minimum or bus tariff; some bookings cost more. Use it as an initial planning reference, then judge your personalised written proposal against the actual event requirements.
