After a funeral in Peters Village, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for life celebrations and gatherings after scattering ashes.
In Peters Village, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the roaster could go. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area

Getting an accurate quote

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Peters Village by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
