I've bought the chilled and bakery so not supposed to have the hot wraps..
But it's okay I guess? Two days lunch for two 👍🏻

Best tgtg ever!
Breakfast & lunch tomorrow sorted!

Very nice. Perfect for a Sunday morning

It was in 2022. I hope this can be useful info.

We had around 35 guests and didn’t deliberately set out to have a budget wedding. We had a church ceremony followed by a reception at a beautiful historic restaurant, which didn’t charge us a venue hire fee. We were really happy with how everything turned out, so I thought I’d share the breakdown!
Reception dinner, including drinks & table setup: £1,475
Photography & videography: £1,180
Bride’s wedding dress, shoes & reception dress: £840
Groom’s suit: £466
Church donation: £300
Church decorations: £175
Hair & makeup: £359
Hotel room for a guest: £70
Wedding cake: £200
Bridesmaid accessories & gifts: £204
Groomsmen gifts: £70
Flowers: £246 (including £85 bridal bouquet, £7 groom’s boutonnière, table flowers and flowers for the cake)
Wedding favours: £80
Wedding favour boxes: £81
Cards: £30
Vases for the reception tables: £17
Guest book, signs & cake decorations: £35
Wedding car hire: £440
Total: £6,268

Church wedding is the biggest money saver here. The second the restaurant that is pretty enough but no venue fee needed. Set menu for each guest was around £35pp, with great food quality. We bought our own red wine and champagne. Just needed to pay corkage fee (5 per bottle).

Overall, an intimate but wonderful wedding that I wouldn't go back and change a thing!

Second edit:

It's right in the comment section that with inflation and if we had more guests, it wouldn't be the same price today.

The median wedding cost in 2022 was £18.5k and that in 2026 is £22.5k which means the same wedding would have been £7.7k today.

With more guests say 70, only the dining and favour bit will increase which means around £2k add on top - so little less than £10k

Just my rough calculation🫶🏻
