- Site access

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.

How the day works
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 Beamond End are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
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.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
