Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Fontwell ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- 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.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
