Crossbush: your questions answered
How far is Crossbush from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose

What to tell us
These are the details we need:

- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
