A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Lullington
Is Lullington close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Andrew: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cover Lullington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Lullington and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Most wakes in Lullington are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.

- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
