The October 2007 Kingdom Exchequer Handbook
http://www.sca.org/docs/finpolicies/KingdomExchequerHandbook.pdf
doesn't really say. I searched under feasts and head table.
Page 39 does have this statement:

2. We may not accept donations of alcohol (CP, VIII).

(I am left wondering if we are getting more stringent on alcohol.)
------------

The Local Exchequer Handbook April 2006
http://www.sca.org/docs/finpolicies/LocalExchequerHandbook.pdf
states what Gretchen mentions below but more importantly on page 32 it 
states:

" B. Money may not be spent on events closed to the general populace and 
without a specific
administrative agenda (SFP IX.E).
This includes Royalty Dinners, Peer Parties, or similar events. Special 
expensive dishes presented at a feast intended
for the consumption of only a few people is allowed, although strongly 
discouraged."

Did the same search through the Seneschal's Handbook
http://www.sca.org/docs/SocSenHandbook-200510.pdf
and didn't find anything there.
