About our funeral wake catering in Binfield Heath
After a funeral in Binfield Heath, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In winter, it is dark in Binfield Heath 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.
