Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-December sunset in Littleworth 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.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Littleworth: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Granary Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater in Littleworth?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
