About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

How do you work out quantities?

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
