How much would you expect to pay for a home made Christmas pudding for 8?

[snowdropsy]

Friend makes Christmas puddings. I said I’d buy one from her, and she said she’d drop it off at the weekend. But she didn’t say how much it would be, and I didn’t like to ask (ridiculous, I know). How much would you expect to pay for a large home made pud?

at least £25

40 quid ?

£30-£40

I think it depends on how much the ingredients cost.

£25

£12

About 40 quid

If you are buying something, it's perfectly reasonable to ask how much it is!

I was going to say £20 but looks like I might be off the mark.

£30

25 I’d say minimum

Tell her you need to nip to the cashpoint to make sure you have the cash for her and ask how much you need to get

£30?

Send her a text ‘let me know how much as I’ll get the cash out ready for you’

This time you’re going to have to accept whatever price it is - in future for anything like this - I’d agree a price BEFORE placing the order to eliminate any uncertainty!

£25-30 would be what I'd expect.

Crazy idea i know, but you could always send her a message saying - and bear with me as it’s complicated - “How much do you want for the Xmas pudding?”

I have a small catering business; I’m charging £15 for a small (feeds 6-8) and £25 for a large (feeds 8-16) they get to keep the pudding bowl and lid and I adjust the pudding to taste (no peel, no nuts, no spice etc) I steam in a slow cooker to cut energy costs

Golly. I don't like the stuff but I'm amazed at just how expensive these puds are. Are the ingredients really that pricey or is there a labour element to account for too?

I think I paid £30 last year for one from a local makers market. Was delicious!!

Will be lovey homemade
I would think around 30 pounds and sixpence .

Let us know when you find out.

I've just sent two, two portion ones to Australia and when filling in the customs documents I valued them at £5 each, obviously including the basins.

35/40

Great. Thanks all! I will come back and let you know how much it was!

Can I assume that people that are saying £40 are in London or the SE because there is no way anyone would pay that where I live.

I'd expect a forty quid Christmas pud to contain at least a gold sovereign rather than a shiny sixpence.
