- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day

What affects the price in Penn
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
