FAQs for Roser's Cross
Is Roser's Cross too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
