In a small place like Tyler's Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies

FAQs for Tyler's Green
What’s the nearest station to Tyler's Green?
Caterham station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Bay Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
