On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and celebration-of-life gatherings.

Richmond questions
What if our house in Richmond has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at The Vineyard Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Most wakes in Richmond are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.
