Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
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 us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See how we price or our hog roast cost guide.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space inside for guests
