Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Ebernoe questions

Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.

What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep the alternatives labelled
If the service runs late, we wait.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
