How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In winter, it’s dark in Chalfont St Peter by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Chalfont St Peter
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

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.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
