What affects the price in Ruislip Manor
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
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.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Ruislip Manor ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?

Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
