- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
