What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In winter, it is dark in Newport Pagnell 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.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
