Last time I checked this was what I found
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.
Has it changed since 2007?

I seem to remember a discussion about this, some time ago, and I'd like to know if anyone here remembers it and can confirm or correct my memory. Is it indeed _not_ ok to serve the high table more or different food than the rest of the hall, particularly if they have paid the same site/feast fee? I'm not talking about something special brought in as a gift, a donation not in the feast budget- I'm talking a planned two-level fare. I seem to remember that it had something to do with financial policy, but I can't remember what it was.
