Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Enstone
How far is Enstone from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Kenelm: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
