I don't know what the situation is in other parts of the East. In the
local group in which I live, nobody gets in for free, except maybe the
royals and the site's staff, such as the Sargeant at the Armory we use--
cooks, autocrats, etc. pay at least the site fee. Cooks, not sitting down
to the feast, don't pay the feast fee.  However, I can think of two events
where the cook sat down for feast while others handled the service, and as
far as I know everyone involved paid for onboard.
