Funeral wake catering for Churchill
Funeral wake catering in Churchill, carved to order
Wake catering across Churchill and Oxfordshire, at homes, halls and venues, with the roast cooked on site. Whether it is wakes in village halls and wakes at home, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.
For a wake near Churchill, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Churchill: your questions answered
Is Churchill close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater at home?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
