Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Cryers Hill
How far is Cryers Hill from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Cryers Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
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 plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wake in Cryers Hill, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
