Our funeral wake catering in Buckinghamshire

Wakes in Buckinghamshire happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for wakes at a local club and family get-togethers after a service.

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

Near you in Aylesbury

Locally, our bookings take us close to Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House. Other local landmarks include Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (within half a mile north). Aylesbury has its own railway station: Aylesbury station, handy for guests travelling by train. Nearby you will also find Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (under half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (less than half a mile north). Green spaces nearby include Coombe Hill.

After a funeral in Buckinghamshire

From Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham to small villages, wakes in Buckinghamshire are generally at home or a local hall. We need somewhere level outside to cook. Parts of Buckinghamshire are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Aylesbury: If relatives are coming by rail, there is a station right in Aylesbury: Aylesbury station. Aylesbury is on or near the A41 and A413, handy for relatives driving in. Summer evenings in Aylesbury stay light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

About the food

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Keep the alternatives labelled

Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Planners, venues and businesses

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Questions from Buckinghamshire

Can you wait?

Name someone we can call and we will adjust.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.

Can you do gluten-free?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

How much does a hog roast cost?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

What comes with the hog roast?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Do you cover Buckinghamshire?
