Why choose a hog roast in Wick?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Wick is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
