Funeral wake catering in Enborne, carved to order

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In winter, it’s dark in Enborne by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.

Enborne questions
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Enborne close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
For event organisers in Enborne
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
