What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Redenham
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Funeral wake catering in Redenham, carved to order
Wakes in Redenham happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Typical bookings include memorial gatherings and gatherings at the family home, with apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In rural Redenham, home or the hall is usual. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the service runs late, we wait.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
Questions from Redenham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Redenham from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Space away from the building and any trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
