Questions from Sevington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?

Is Sevington close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

- A friend or relative we can call
- A safe distance from the hall

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
On the day, 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. Late-December sunset in Sevington is about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
