How we price a hog roast for the wake
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it’s dark in Turville Heath by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

For event organisers in Turville Heath
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls

- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
