Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In summer, Bulverhythe has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
