For event organisers in Coates
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
A hog roast or other catering?
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. 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.
Why us?
