We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.

Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
