Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Timsbury
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Timsbury is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
