- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

How it works

Most wakes in Bepton Common are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 4:00pm.
