How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Hampton Wick get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Hampton Wick
What if our house in Hampton Wick has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal is not available.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.

A hog roast compared with other options
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Ask about china.
