- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What affects the price in Wendover Dean
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in Wendover Dean lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
