Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
