How to charge VAT for items with varying rates?

One ticket, includes meal (changing to 5%) and alcoholic drinks (still 20%)

Didn't find your answer?

Client runs Christmas parties.  One of the main ticket options is the all inclusive which includes entertainment (presumably 5%), the meal (5%), soft drinks (5%) and alcoholic drinks (20%).  Can someone point me in the right direction for charging one fee for different items at different VAT rates?

Answering my own question - I think I've found it: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-guide-notice-700#section8, I'll start here.

You need to split the cost on the invoice between standard and reduced rate supplies.

Supplying stuff at different rates is very common - it's rife in the grocery trade.
