If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Walton Hall goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Seating for residents
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A named contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Roast potatoes
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast pork, carved
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
