Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A level outdoor area
- A friend or relative we can call
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
