- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
