The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Royal Docks, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
