We cater wakes in Billingshurst and the surrounding area, at homes, halls and venues, with the roast cooked on site. For church and village hall wakes and celebration-of-life gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce for your guests.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Travel to Billingshurst
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Questions from Billingshurst
Can you cater after a service at Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Billingshurst?
Billingshurst has its own station: Billingshurst station.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
A hog roast or other catering?
