Sunset in St John Street area is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
