A hog roast near Mountain Street
Questions from Mountain Street
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Broadham Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Funeral wake catering in Mountain Street, slow-roasted on site
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings at clubs and pubs and anniversary memorials.
For a wake near Mountain Street, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Most wakes in Mountain Street are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
