For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: send us your details through our quote form.
