What affects the price in Brooks Green
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
