Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
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.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Ebbsfleet Valley ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
