- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
