What affects the price in Norton Ash
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Norton Ash has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
