A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn and winter afternoons in Surbiton Park get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
