What affects the price in Birchington
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Birchington
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For a staff lunch in Birchington, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
