How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In winter, it is dark in Maynard's Green by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Clearance from walls and branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Maynard's Green
