Wakes are often arranged at short notice. Contact us as soon as you have a date, and we will give you a quick answer. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are often booked for church and village hall wakes and gatherings at clubs and pubs.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall or room for eating
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
As a London location, Bell Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

For event organisers in Bell Green
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wake. In late September, sunset in Bell Green is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
