A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Bowes Park
Can you do a hog roast in Woodside Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church: can you cater?
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 if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
