Prices and what affects them

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In West Hendred, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
