Why Cockpole Green hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Ask about china.
For event organisers in Cockpole Green
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
