Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Access agreed with locations
- A safe distance from kit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
