Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Old Wolverton hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer evenings in Old Wolverton stay light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
