Funeral wake catering in Buscot, carved to order
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Typical bookings include wakes at a local club and anniversary memorials, with apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes.
For a wake near Buscot, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
FAQs for Buscot

Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

We’ll always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
