Salford: halls, homes and travel
Salford is about 5 miles south-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. From village halls to gardens and fields, wakes around Salford suit a hog roast. Salford is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Salford to Milton Keynes (about 6 miles away).
After a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What else we do in Salford
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Wakes in Salford are generally in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:50pm.
