Questions from Westcombe Park
Can you do a hog roast in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Typically. Get in touch when the date is set and we will answer right away.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Planned to your running order

- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
