We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Most wakes in Lye Green are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
