- The number of people
- Travel to Force Green
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

When you enquire, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
