FAQs for Lunsford's Cross
Is Lunsford's Cross close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
