What else we do in North Ascot
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How we price a hog roast for the wake
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Most wakes in North Ascot are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
