Funeral wake catering in Cippenham, carved to order
Wake catering across Cippenham and Slough, at homes, halls and venues, with the roast cooked on site. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and ashes ceremonies.
For a wake in a place like Cippenham, the village hall is often the heart of it. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.

- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Parking close by for our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
