Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer hog roast day in Higham Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
