About our funeral wake catering in Brick Hill
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes at a local club and gatherings at the family home, with new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In rural Brick Hill, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
For event organisers in Brick Hill
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Site access
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Brick Hill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Brick Hill: your questions answered
How far is Brick Hill from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Saviour?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Can you cater at home?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
