Funeral wake catering near Brimpton
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve salads, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers after a service and wakes at a local club.
In a small place like Brimpton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

Brimpton questions
Which station is closest to Brimpton?
Midgham station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Permission from the hall or venue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
