- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
