There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is mains power needed?

Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Do you do charity events?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.

Each price is built from:
