Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Whitmoor Vale
Do you come out to small places like Whitmoor Vale?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Wakes in Whitmoor Vale are typically in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
