Before booking anyone
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether travel is included
- Whether plates or china are included
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, daylight in Great Horwood ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
