We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Whether it is remembrance days and ashes ceremonies, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In a small place like Chilbolton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Common questions in Chilbolton
Do you come out to small places like Chilbolton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Less?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
