Enborne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Enborne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Enborne?
Newbury station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you cover Enborne?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What affects the price in Enborne
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
