Common questions in Stanwell Moor
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In winter, it is dark in Stanwell Moor by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
