Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it is dark in Bisham by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Bisham hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
