What affects the price in Ware
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Ware has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
