Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Northease are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
