Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Three Ashes ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
