The one I did for the Girl Scout leaders was a class they had to register for
ahead of time, so I knew I would have 24 people. I requested a $2/person
charge; they paid that to the council, and I was reimbursed for $2 times the
number of people who signed in. I actually had 20 show up, so I got $40 back
of the $55 I spent. Not bad.
The other times I've done it I've just made a bunch of munchies and served
them until they were gone. Usually my fellow shire members are really good
about dealing with the leftovers if I overestimate. I've never charged for
this sort of tasting, and I'm not sure if I legally could. If
non-perishables are involved, I use what I can out of the shire stores (which
I keep at my house anyway) and just buy the stuff I need fresh. I could
technically get reimbursed from the shire for it, since the food is for an
SCA activity, but I haven't needed to.
