Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Send us the details.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Northfields hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
