What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
