How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food

- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.

Common questions in Deddington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Deddington?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Deddington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Deddington and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wake in Deddington, there’s light until about 9:30pm, so people can spill into the garden.

- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
