Jericho: your questions answered
Is Jericho close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at St Barnabas Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you wait?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you come to Jericho?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Often, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Jericho is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
