How we price a hog roast for the wake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Adstock
- Site access
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.
About our funeral wake catering in Adstock
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for celebrations of life and memorial events.
For a wake near Adstock, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

FAQs for Adstock
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Cecilia?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Adstock from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
