What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Wakes in Wiston are generally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Numbers
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
