When planning a birthday celebration or private party, one of the first questions people ask is:

“How much does pizza catering cost per person?”

If you’re searching for birthday party or private party catering cost in Staffordshire, Cannock, Shrewsbury, Derbyshire or across the West Midlands, pricing typically depends on guest numbers, location and service style.

At Pizza Al Forno, we believe in clear and transparent pricing so you can plan your celebration with confidence.

Birthday & Private Party Catering Prices in Staffordshire

For private parties within Staffordshire, our pricing structure is simple:

  • £14 per guest

  • Minimum booking of 50 guests (£700 minimum spend)

  • For guest numbers over 50, the rate reduces to £10 per head

This structure makes larger birthday parties and celebrations even better value while maintaining the same high-quality wood-fired experience.

Midweek Private Party Flexibility

For midweek parties (Monday–Thursday), we’re able to offer greater flexibility with a minimum of 40 guests, while keeping the same £14 per head pricing.

This makes midweek birthday celebrations, engagement parties, anniversaries and housewarming events ideal for smaller gatherings without compromising on quality.
