Funeral wake catering near Beech Hill
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. For gatherings at the family home and family get-togethers after a service, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and new potatoes and more.
Near Beech Hill, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode

Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In late September, sunset in Beech Hill is about 7:10pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
