Priceing sides????
So how do you go about priceing sides and figuring portion size for sides? Got an offer to do a wedding for around 120. They want pulled pork, brisket and sausage. The sides are my big problem they want baked beans, slaw and tator salad. I can handle making that its just how do you figure amount and price. It is going to be a buffet set up with folks serving them selves. She doesn't want serving help.

I would buy the sides and do my own doctoring.
I would figure sides, cost of doctoring and multiple X 3, the same way I figure the cost of the meat. I hope im not out of line here but you must cover your expenses and make some kind of profit.

Not trying to be a smart arse, but if you are buying the baked beans in the can or the slaw already shredded in the bag, the serving sides are on the back.
You can X 3 your cost as Bull suggested or feel free and steal pricing from my or someone elses website.
