Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Wakes in Tinsley Green are typically in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
