What affects the price in Clanfield
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Travel to Clanfield
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Autumn and winter afternoons in Clanfield get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
