How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Heyshott Green is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Where the roaster can go in Heyshott Green
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
