Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
