Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
