Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Most wakes in Fifield are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.

- Food is ready when people arrive.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
