Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
