There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in RH4, so whether your event is in Dorking, North Holmwood and Westcott or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option

If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Prices and what affects them

Your quote depends on:

  • Season and day of the week
  • Numbers
  • The journey to the venue
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to include:

  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the event is
  • Which meats and sides you’d like

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

RH4 questions

Do we need our own staff?

How do you work out quantities?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
