- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Little London
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
