What affects the price in Woodmancote
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. On a winter shoot near Woodmancote, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- 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
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
