About our funeral wake catering in Chobham
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. We’re often asked to cater pub and club wakes and gatherings after scattering ashes, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a wake in a place like Chobham, the village hall is often the heart of it. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Why choose funeral wake catering in Chobham?
Nobody in the family has to cook or serve.
Whatever the occasion in Chobham, a slow roast goes a long way. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Celebration-of-life gatherings
- Remembrance gatherings
- Wakes at a local club
- Home wakes
For a service at a church like Church of St Lawrence, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests.
What to look for in a quote
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Chobham is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
