Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Shooter's Hill
Which station is closest to Shooter's Hill?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Could you cook in Eaglesfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How our funeral wake catering works in Shooter's Hill
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Whether it’s one-year memorials and hall gatherings after a service, we’ll put together a menu of salads, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in Shooter's Hill are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
