Funeral wake catering near Clewer
After a funeral in Clewer, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings at the family home and wakes in village halls.
For a wake in a place like Clewer, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Other occasions in Clewer
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Clewer is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Clewer
Could you cook in The Goswells?

Which station is closest to Clewer?
Windsor & Eton Central station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
