Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Albany Park
Can you cater after a service at St Lawrence church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station

See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Most wakes in Albany Park are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
