Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
