In Perivale, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Perivale
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

FAQs for Perivale
Could you cook in Castle Bar Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Perivale by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
