Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
