The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Wakes in Mattingley are typically in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- Our staff serve without fuss.
