- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- An activities lead or manager as contact
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.

What affects the price in St Leonards
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area

- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
