How we price a hog roast for the wake
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Chadlington?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn and winter afternoons in Chadlington get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.

Common questions in Chadlington
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?

The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you cover Chadlington?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?

What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
