We've done that--and that was a good part of the reason why.

The College of Grey Gargoyles, in the Midrealm, for some years held free
feasts for all comers.  We started after one of our people pointed out that
making one's guests pay was strikingly unmedieval. It wasn't literally "the
lord of the manor" paying; we had various fund-raisers.  And it most
certainly did not relieve the cooks of any budget worries--feeding three
hundred people off the proceeds of the last shire fund-raiser took a lot of
careful planning.
