Questions from Golden Cross
What’s the nearest station to Golden Cross?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Golden Cross?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
