How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Most wakes in White Waltham are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
