FAQ’s

We tend to travel within about an hour of Hemel Hempstead, mainly covering Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire

There is no minimum and we have served up to 1200 guests, so numbers are not really a problem.

Yes of course…. We have a DIY option. We will deliver the machine, your chosen meat and bottle of gas. If possible, we will start the cooking for you and we will explain exactly how to operate the equipment and give advice on carving.

Yes, you can… People often have a pig and lamb or chickens which also cook really well on the spit.

Not an easy question to answer…It all depends on numbers, location, date, and a few other variables so can’t give an exact cost on the website. But generally speaking, based on 100 people the menus range from just under £1000 plus vat for Menu 1 to £1400 plus vat for Menu 3.

No…. The quote I give you is the amount for everything within the menu.

We will need an area up to 5m x 3m to set up our catering gazebo and also need access to a couple of electrical sockets and water from time to time. There is a lot of equipment (enough to fill a LWB van) so please bear in mind where to site us. Preferably close to the entrance of your property for easy access when setting up and more importantly for when we leave as to not be disturbing the party. We need clear access of at least 76cm for the equipment. If space is too tight, we do have a slow roast machine that is narrower so please advise. I can always make a site visit to check.

Were used to it…. We work all year round. We have a gazebo and usually a spare if it is raining so can usually put another up to keep you all dry when getting served. If the weather is really bad, we can cook and carve under the gazebo, and if possible, we could serve inside your venue if there is enough space

Yes, you can. The menus are the most popular and just an idea of what we offer. We can add what ever you need.

Yes, we will cater for our herbivore friends and also cater for any other dietary requirements that your guests may have.

If the menu requires waiting staff, we will have them there. We can also add an extra member of staff if you require an additional person to serve drinks or clear plates etc.

Yes, we are registered with Aylesbury Vale District Council with top mark scores on the doors of 5.

Just about any event…. Private parties for Birthdays, anniversaries, Christenings and Holy Communions, wakes, corporate events, weddings.

The most common question and I’ve left until the end 😊

Generally, between four hours on a red hot day, to six hours when it’s cold and miserable. If you’re opting for the slow roast, we will start cooking it at our place about 14 hours before serve time, and then finish at the venue.
