We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Hempton, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
