How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Nether Winchendon
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Nether Winchendon questions
Is Nether Winchendon close to London?
About 42 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover Nether Winchendon?
Yes, Nether Winchendon is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What should we provide?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.

How the day 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. Late-December sunset in Nether Winchendon is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
