Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.

Working with your venue

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Travel to Green Cross
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- The date and time of the event

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
