How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Breamore is about 4:05pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Common questions in Breamore
Do you come out to small places like Breamore?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Boniface?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal is not available.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
