How we price a hog roast for the wake
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Events we cater in Bradwell
One roast feeds everyone together, so people can eat and share memories.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.

Questions from Bradwell
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: 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. Send us the address.
Could you cook in South Loughton Valley park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
