The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn and winter afternoons in Dedworth get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

How we price a hog roast for the wake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
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.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Dedworth questions
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Dedworth?
Windsor & Eton Central station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
