Slow-roasted pork in Broxhill
Funeral wake catering in Broxhill, slow-roasted on site
Wake catering across Broxhill and Hampshire, at homes, halls and venues, with the roast cooked on site. We serve apple sauce, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for remembrance gatherings and wakes at home.
For a wake near Broxhill, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn and winter afternoons in Broxhill get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:05pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Common questions in Broxhill
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Broxhill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if people arrive late?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Rather than relatives cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
