Roser's Cross: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Roser's Cross?

Can you do a hog roast in Passingworth Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What we serve, dish by dish

Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
