How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
