Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Winnall: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
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. For a summer wake in Winnall, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- New potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Planned to your running order
