How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Littleworth Corner is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Littleworth Corner
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Anne?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Littleworth Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
