Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Sutton Scotney
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
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.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
