Frequently asked questions about caterers in Edinburgh

Wedding catering in Edinburgh typically costs £50–£120 per head for a three-course meal. This usually includes canapés, the meal, and evening food. Drinks packages add £20–£40 per head.

Sit-down three-course meals remain the most popular, but sharing platters, BBQ, street food trucks, and buffets are increasingly common. The style often depends on the venue and the formality of the day.

It depends on the venue. Some include in-house catering; others are dry-hire (you bring your own caterer). Dry-hire venues give you more flexibility but require more coordination.

Book 6–9 months ahead. If your venue is dry-hire, this is one of the first vendors to secure after the venue itself.
