Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Ask about china.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-December sunset in Pitch Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
