Funeral wake catering in Bassett Green, carved to order
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We serve apple sauce, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for anniversary memorials and wakes at home.
Around Bassett Green, wakes are often at the village hall, a pub or home. Let us know where the roaster could go. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Bassett Green
Is Bassett Green close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Alban's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer evenings in Bassett Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
See our pricing or the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
