About our funeral wake catering in Bedgrove
Wakes in Bedgrove happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For scattering-of-ashes gatherings and life celebrations, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
In Bedgrove, the hall is frequently where people gather. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Occasions we serve in Bedgrove

In Bedgrove and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

- How dietary needs are handled
- The space, cover and access they need
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it is dark in Bedgrove by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A hall or room for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Coleslaw
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
