Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

How we price a hog roast day
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
