Funeral wake catering in Bellfields, slow-roasted on site
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. On the menu are new potatoes, apple sauce and salads, and we are frequently booked for wakes at a local club and gatherings after scattering ashes.
For a wake in a place like Bellfields, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Bellfields: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bellfields?
The closest is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In winter, it is dark in Bellfields by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
