Funeral wake catering near Alscot

Common questions in Alscot
Which station is closest to Alscot?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover Alscot?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What should we provide?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn and winter afternoons in Alscot get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
