About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Questions from Anglefield Corner
Is Anglefield Corner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evanglist: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
