Is this the most expensive bacon butty ever? UPDATE ANOTHER UPDATE!!!!

Thanks BSB.   I've already negotiated them down on not paying for venue hire, not paying exclusivity charges, not having to hire all 21 bedrooms.  Of course I did all that before we'd agreed to go with them (and paid a deposit) so I was in a great bargining position.

It's one each.  Even if they are baggette sized that still so much!   You don't even pay that at festivals/airports where they know how to sting you.   I feel so cross about it.  LIke you say you hear the W word and it takes the mickey.   I will have a word with them and see what they say.    I will update everyone on 'Buttygate' when I know more

Blooming 'eck! I hope your guests appreciate that!

Flipping eck. I think we paid about £9.50 pp for an evening buffett!

We are having half bacon butties and half buffett and the butties are £4 each x

I think whoever used the word 'wowzers' was closest to my reaction!

We choose bacon butties to save money as the evening buffet would have been £21 per head

£21 pp?!?! Woah!

If it is any consolation we are paying the same for ours - we are actually getting hot pork rolls with all of the trimmings but the bacon butties are the same cost. Ours is too rediculously priced for an evening buffet - FROM £22.50 per head!! From!! ha ha ha. Have they actually told you that it is def one per person??? I questioned this with our venue as I said I could bring a pig on a lead and hire a baker to do the bread fresh for less money and they said that it is more than 1 per person and it also comes with wedges and jam doughnuts for after - but it doesnt say this on the menu!! I am sure if I didnt question it we would of ended up with some rolls with a bit of dried up pork on!!

The place I used to work - a beautiful barn convertion - that was pretty pricey charged £4.50 per head for bacon butties - but that was literally just the butties - no extra, so I kinda thought £9.50 per head with 'extras' was about the going rate??

Def check with them exactly what you get

x

I will double check if that includes extras, if it included wedges and jam doughnuts for after I'd be happy with that and if it was more than one each but it's definately one per person, it says that on the breakdown of figures.  There has never been any mention of extras unfortunately.

I was going to suggest checking if anything else is included. I'm not being funny, but surely they would know that 1 bacon buttie, although nice is not that filling IYSWIM. I would see if it comes with potato wedges or at least some rice or salad.

Hi

Our venue 'offered' us bacon butties for the end of the evening (we already are having sit down meal, evening buffet) they thought the bacon butties would be a good idea to soak up some booze as the reception isnt finishing till 1am being as its new years eve.  They offered to do the butties for a deal for £5.50 each (usually £8.50 each).  i didn't bother asking how big they were cus i thought no way they are getting enough bloomin money out of us.  so i have asked for them to make sure they leave the buffet out until the end of the night, cus i have noticed recently alot of places seem to take the food away quite early regardless of how much is left!!

I definatly try to get them to come down, its obscene how they can charge that much

Good luck x

wow, now they must be JUMBO bacon buttys!!!!!

Hope you manage to get something else sorted out and also hope that your OH learns a lesson and takes a little bit more interest in all of the planning from now on!!!!

It wants to be a pig between two bread vans to warrent £9.50!!

I think they are trying to recoup some of what you have negotiated out.

No, that was the price they quoted right from the start to be fair.  It's my mistake I missed it!
