What affects the price in Hannington
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, daylight in Hannington ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
