What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. 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.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Wakes in Bagshot are normally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
