Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.

Badger Farm: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
