Your quote depends on:
- Site access
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A firm way on and off the field
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Your trader requirements
Arkley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
