Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
