In Hounslow, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
China crockery is available on request.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Wakes in Hounslow are generally in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
A hog roast compared with other options
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
