Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Shoreham-by-Sea, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
