Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Add chicken as an alternative.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In winter, it is dark in Westmarsh by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
