The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. In Key's Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.

- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
