- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
