Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, Tilford Common is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
