Funeral wake catering across Slough

We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We are frequently asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and remembrance days, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

After a funeral in Slough

Across Slough, halls, clubs and homes all host wakes. Tell us where and we will check the cooking spot.

Slough: For a service at a church like St Michael and All Angels, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. Relatives arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Slough station, about 0.7 miles east. In winter, it is dark in Slough by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Allergies and dietary needs

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

Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
Ask close family about dietary needs
Request gluten-free rolls
Plates are easier for older guests than rolls

We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.

Add chicken as an alternative.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months.

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

A hall or room for eating
Space away from the building and any trees
A level outdoor area

What comes off the roaster

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Questions from Slough

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

How big a hog will we need?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Can you work around our timings?

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What should we provide?

Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.

What comes with the hog roast?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
