What affects the price in Coulsdon
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
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 menu, dish by dish

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
