Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Chillerton
Is Chillerton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Olave's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Travel to Chillerton
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In winter, it is dark in Chillerton by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
