For a village fête or field event near Speldhurst, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
