Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- The number of people
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Approval from the home

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Ifieldwood has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing typically contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
What do you need from us on the day?

Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
