Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Brackenbury Village
What’s the nearest station to Brackenbury Village?
Shepherds Bush station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Brackenbury Village?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In late September, sunset in Brackenbury Village is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
