Funeral wake catering in Bierton, carved to order
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are often asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and anniversary memorials, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In rural Bierton, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Bierton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Bierton from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Check with family about dietary needs
If the service runs late, we wait.
Add chicken as an alternative.
