How we price a hog roast for the wake
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
China crockery is available on request.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late September, sunset in Uffington is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Common questions in Uffington
Is Uffington close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
