A hog roast near Harrow on the Hill
Funeral wake catering near Harrow on the Hill
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include celebration-of-life gatherings and pub and club wakes, with new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers.
In Harrow on the Hill, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
