About the food

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
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 to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs

- Flat ground at the unit base
- Sign-off from the location
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
