Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
