How we price a hog roast for the wake
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

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)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
FAQs for Piddington
Is Piddington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
