At a rural home near Walton on the Hill, access matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Walton on the Hill
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or KT20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
