About our funeral wake catering in Fawley
After a funeral in Fawley, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for wakes at a local club and ashes ceremonies.
For a wake near Fawley, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Fawley: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details for a quick answer.

A hog roast or other catering?

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
