Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

About our funeral wake catering in Broad Green
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for remembrance gatherings and wakes in village halls.
In Broad Green, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Where the roaster can go in Broad Green
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A level outdoor area
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
As a London location, Broad Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
