Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food

One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.

Brockley Hill questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Brockley Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Edgwarebury Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
