Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area

What to look for in a quote
- Whether plates or china are included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Exactly what’s included in the price
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A short route for the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Broomhall by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Planning help
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
