About our funeral wake catering in Binscombe
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For remembrance gatherings and pub and club wakes, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes.
For a wake near Binscombe, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.

Questions from Binscombe
How far is Binscombe from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist Church: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
