Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wake in Mogador, there is light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
