What affects the price in Ebbsfleet Valley
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
