How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area

How our funeral wake catering works in Saint Hill Green
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there’s anything special and we’ll try to help. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and gatherings after scattering ashes, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
In a small place like Saint Hill Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Saint Hill Green

About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Barnabas Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you cover Saint Hill Green?
Yes, Saint Hill Green is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Most wakes in Saint Hill Green are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
