Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Great Kimble questions
Do you come out to small places like Great Kimble?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve at lunch?
Choose the time, and we’ll be ready.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater in Great Kimble?
Yes, Great Kimble is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Great Kimble, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
