We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Most wakes in Hungerford Green are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.

Hungerford Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater in Hungerford Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
