Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Moulsford
Is Moulsford close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Moulsford?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Moulsford is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
