A hog roast compared with other options
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer evenings in Broughton stay light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.

If the service runs late, we wait.
