Now, has she got a point? Or is she inhospitable/greedy?

It's like holding a party then selling tickets to it. Maybe she's just going about it all wrong. If one says, "If everyone chips in I'm willing to hold Xmas dinner", then that's one thing. If one says, "Here's an invite to my party, now where's my £30 ?", that something else entirely.
It depends on people's circumstances. I personally wouldn't dream of asking anyone for a contribution (other than bringing a bottle or two), but I can understand someone less well off, saying let's all have Christmas dinner at mine - I'll provide the venue and do all the work, but we'll need to share the cost of the food.
That doesn't seem unreasonable. I don't know about the woman in question. She could be absolutely loaded but just mean for all I know. If that was the case and I got an invite from her (at £30 a head) I'd politely decline it.

she was on telly today..£30 includes all the booze , plus champagne, a present under the tree, canapés as well as 3 course dinner..cheese board sweets etc. I'd go for that !! she is a youngish woman with children and has 12-16 to dinner... clearly the family that does go appreciate all her hard work
I wouldnt charge but my gkids now want to spend xmas & boxing day with t'other nan and their own school friends. My son wants me to cook the xmas meal for their visit on christmas eve. Ive refused so may not see them over christmas.....hopefully I will save myself their usual monetary gifts totalling £1k ;)
Xmas cruise? yep that'll do me.

Islay, my Weatherspoons is £28.50 for a 2 course Christmas Day dinner , just the meal no drinks. But it was sold out before the end of July! even though they are doing 3 sittings !
The same meal is £16 a head up to 23rd December , but that's nearly sold out as well.
The Hotel next door still has places available at £75 a head !

It's beginning to look a lot for Christmas."
