Sandwich Bay Estate is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
Wakes anywhere in CT13 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests.

Organising for someone else?

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In winter, it’s dark in Sandwich Bay Estate by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
