Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
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. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Little Chalfont, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
