What affects the price in Stone Corner
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Where the roaster can go in Stone Corner
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Space inside for guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
