Funeral wake catering for Clanfield
How our funeral wake catering works in Clanfield
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include celebration-of-life gatherings and pub and club wakes, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In rural Clanfield, home or the hall is usual. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode

Clanfield questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Clanfield?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you cover Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.

- Clearance from walls and branches
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late September, sunset in Clanfield is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
