Slow-roasted pork in Tower Hill
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-December sunset in Tower Hill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Questions from Tower Hill
Which station is closest to Tower Hill?
The closest is Christs Hospital station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is Tower Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
