Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode

- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BN27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
