- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT18 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
