What affects the price in Tilehurst
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Tilehurst
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
