While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are often asked to cater remembrance gatherings and wakes at home, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a wake near South Heath, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why choose a hog roast in South Heath?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why South Heath hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Autumn and winter afternoons in South Heath get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
