What affects the price in Magham Down

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Magham Down

- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. By about 3:55pm in late December, Magham Down is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
