Funeral wake catering in Catisfield, slow-roasted on site
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. For memorial gatherings and gatherings at the family home, we will put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Around Catisfield, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Common questions in Catisfield
How far is Catisfield from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Wake catering near Catisfield
Catisfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We cover wakes in Catisfield, as well as the surrounding area. Catisfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Catisfield to Southampton (9 miles away).
If the funeral is at a church such as Church of St Peter, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. Catisfield is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
For wakes in PO15 and PO14, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake in a garden on Mill Lane, Bradly Road and Harcourt Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater wakes include Heathfield (1 mile east), Titchfield (1 mile west), Titchfield Park (1 mile north-west), Funtley (2 miles north-east) and Little Posbrook (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (4 miles south-east), Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east) and Totton (13 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Fareham Shopping Centre (1.9 miles east) and Knowle Hospital (2.2 miles north). Within reach you will find Holly Hill Woodland Park and Portsdown Hill.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
