A hog roast or other catering?

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Greenwich
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Greenwich?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is it a sit-down meal?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In winter, it is dark in Greenwich by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
