How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us

- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
