What else we do in Golden Cross
Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
For event organisers in Golden Cross

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Access agreed with locations
