The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
About our funeral wake catering in Berinsfield
Funerals are typically planned within a week or two. Get in touch as soon as the date is set, and we will tell you right away whether we can help. We’re often asked to cater celebrations of life and gatherings at clubs and pubs, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake near Berinsfield, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Berinsfield
We are gathering after a service at Saint Mary and Saint Berin: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Berinsfield?
Culham station, about 2.8 miles west of the centre.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What if the service runs late?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a summer wake in Berinsfield, there is light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.

Before we arrive
