What affects the price in Three Mile Cross
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Three Mile Cross, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
