Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Upper Lambourn lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
