What affects the price in Shatterling
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Shatterling
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
