Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Wendover
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
