What affects the price in Egham Hythe
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
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, and the quote reflects that.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
