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.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
