Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Old Chiswick
Can you cater after a service at St. Nicholas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Old Chiswick has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
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.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
