Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask about china.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near Beenham lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
